Can anyone see a problem with using CF cards in a removeable CF/IDE
adapter for daily/weekly/monthly backup cycle? Note: not for 30-year
archive or anything, just for backup.

I'm thinking it would fill the niche between DVDs and a tape drive and
not have the throughput requirements for use on an older box.
