Sorry to jump in here but I have been having the same discussion with 
others.  One question we had was whether a Jazz drive could read Zip 
drive media or not ?  I know it could be a stupid question but I've not 
had the time/opportunity to work with either yet.  One thing to keep in 
mind for your discussion is what drives are supported by the backup 
software and what is the difference in speed between a Jazz drive and a 
streaming tape drive.
