yes, that's one thought I've had too.

In the new year I've proposed to one of my clients that I assist them in
building a nice little multi-ATA/100 channel box with big (320GB?)

aging 8mm tape library and then try to find some way to only roll the
very most important stuff to tape for off-site backups.
