tape backup ?



Hello everybody,

Another random question for debian users on laptop.

The hard disk on my server/laptop has been working a lot for the past 3
years and I am now waking up in cold sweats during the middle of the night
because I didn't do any backup.

So here I am now, browsing for backup solutions, from Zip drives to DVD
burners or CD burners.

Here's what I want to do:
- the disk is rather small (< 10 GB) but I want to be able to do incremental
and full backups
- the media is not important. Tapes would be good I guess ? (they're cheap
and 'scratch resistant' as opposed to CDs)
- I don't have SCSI stuff. 
- Some software should support it (I am running woody).
- USB would be great, speed is not important.
- CHEAP !!!!! I can't spend $1000 bucks for the overall system.

I know I am asking for too much, but maybe someone has already thought about
it and can enlighten me on the possible solutions.

Thanks very much everybody !!!!!!
