There are many ways to increase the storage space on your computer. You can obtain and additional external hard drive that will give you more storage space when attached to your computer.

What are the advantages of a tape drive compared to an external hard drive?
Tapes are much cheapers for price per gigabyte of storage. They are more durable than a hard drive and can be dropped without sustaining very much if any loss of data. Also should one fill an external hard drive they then have to free up more space or buy an new expensive external hard drive. Tapes on the other hand are cheap, so should you run out of space you could easily purchase another tape. external hard drives have the advantage of being more compatible with other computers. Using tapes would require every system you want to utilize the data from as a tape drive installed.

You computer is 80 GB hard drive you need back up the external hard drive must be same as 80gb?
Part depends on the TYPE of backup. A "standard" file backup will use far less space, as it only backs up the actual data on the drive. to find out how much data is on your drive, open up "My Computer" and right click on the drive you wish to backup. The information box that appears will show the drive capacity, and the free space. Subtract the free space from the drive capacity to estimate the data size. Another type of backup is called a "drive image". This type will make an exact duplicate of you hard drive onto another drive. for this type of backup, you must have a 80 gig (or larger) backup drive. Steve
