No need to erm at all. I used to have, at work, a tape backup system
which
backed data up to VHS tape. The hardware fitted into two 5.25" drives
bays,
and took a VHS tape sideways. There was an ISA card which this connected
to,
and some software which linked it into NT Backup.
I never actually used it though. It was a museum piece back then, and
IIRC
only did about 500Mb in 5 hours.
