DDS? Ick, I used to use those.

You can pick up a DLT4000 drive and used tapes for next to nothing, the 
drives usually go for no more than $20 on ebay.  DLT is a *MUCH* more 
reliable medium than DDS or 8mm ever was, and is faster too.

DLT4000's do 20GB uncompressed, and DLT7000's do 35GB uncompressed.  
7000s are coming down in price, and are what I've got now.

If you can't afford the $100 or so for a drive and pack(s) of tapes, you 
must not value your data very much...
