You mean, besides tape?  Bell's tape drivers and drives work fine
(at least, in 286; in 386 I get some random kernel crashes and
have to see if they've updated the driver).  uport has drivers
for Everex.  Unless you confine yourself to small files...
in which case you could write scripts for interval backups to
floppies... the only way to go is tape.  Reloading from tape
also takes care of file system fragmentation.  Be sure
your backup code reads the tape for integrity after writing!
