Wait for some of the cheaper tape carousel units to show up on E-bay. I've
seen them go as low as $300 before (and that's with two SDT-9000s in it). Or,
if you're comfortable with a disk-based solution, create a Linux file server
using LVM and use the snapshot capabilities. For that matter, you could
probably pick up a NetApp on E-bay dirt cheap with snapshot capability as
well.
