I got 80 Gb of pictures (~ 3 years). I use both DVD and DLT for
backuping up my pictures.

While I agree that DVD is a great cheap backup for everyday needs for the
basic user, a DLT and AIT drive is not only slow, but also can be more
problematic and less reliable due to premature tape failure. This is why
we totally abandoned ours to use U320 SCSI drives for our backup media of
choice. They are extremely fast, reliable, and very inexpensive.

DVDs don't offer that long life-time as DLT. And I have never had any
problems with premature tape failure or any other failure.
