Quite a few people see it as the longest lasting common backup medium, better than HDs. If you have mechanical failure with the tape system you just use a new drive and chances are the medium is unaffected. If you have mechanical failure with HDs you are generally cut off from the medium. Anybody else on tape? I assume Rich is and I would be interested in a talk about bacula.
