For small enterprises there are other options to tape.
I use an IDE HD in an external firewire case for personal system backups.
This is then kept offsite. This would work for a small business as well.
The great thing is you get to use cheap cheap disk for your backups. IDE
drives are also highly reliable. Initial expenditure of $400-500 then
basically no overheads.
Other options include rsync's over modem (this really works for data up to
a few Mb/day). Just have the box dialout & establish a PPP connection to
another box offsite. Exclude any iso images you've downloaded :)
