    Yeah, the longevity for tape backups feels entirely theoretical when the tape drives themselves are out of production, so you could end up with a perfect tape, and nothing can read it…

      I mean…The parts are probably easy enough to remanufacture.
      IF you have the budget of an AWS or Azure.

      For us? Yep. Sadly.
