Companies are once again storing data on tape, just in case

Two quotes:

“Tape isn’t inefficient or ineffective, but it can be inconvenient. Good security is almost always inconvenient.”

"Some security experts and tape users argue that the medium has big advantages over other forms of storage—including a higher reliability rate than hard drives and a lifespan in excess of 30 years. The total cost of ownership per terabyte is also the lowest of any storage medium. Top-of-the-line tapes can hold up to 15 terabytes and can be archived in third-party locations at a fraction of the cost of cheapest cloud-storage solutions." “Tape isn’t inefficient or ineffective, but it can be inconvenient. Good security is almost always inconvenient.”
