To Tape or Not to Tape

I'm probably preaching to the choir, but here's a decent article on the pros and cons of online backups vs. tape backups. Really, it's like having to prove why DVD is better than VHS or CDs are better that cassette tapes in that it should be self-evident (that's right Mom!). In the event that it's not self-evident to you, maybe you'll read the article and then it will be.

Well, it turns out that there are ways to address both concerns. In the interest of not reinventing the wheel, I'll refer you to this excellent article that gives some excellent Facebook security tips:
