I've given up on the use of tape. I use external hard drives for backup. You should always back up with tar to 9 track tape stands, the way the computer gods intended. ;-)

And keep your audio recordings on 1" reel to reel instrumentation recorders like we did at Digital Recording. On 4mm backups. There was a customer who used a 4mm backup and backed up every night. The one thing someone forgot to tell them was to replace the tapes. After about 4 years the disk failed. The tapes were transparent.
