Are You Confident You Can Get Your Data Back From Tape?  Really?Data Backup Tape

In order for backup tapes to be there when you need them, you need to have a set of tapes off site.  Are your tapes stored reliably off site?  Where are they being stored?  In the floorboard of the receptionist's car?   Backup tapes also get unreliable after a surprisingly low number of uses.  How many times have your backup tapes been recycled?  When was the last time you bought new ones?  Is the person responsible for changing the tapes really changing them?  Are you certain?  Willing to bet your business on it?

As Clint Eastwood inimitably asked in Dirty Harry in 1971, "Do ya feel lucky?  Huh?  Do ya?

Tape Backup was a great technology back in the 20th century when it was really the only cost-efficient way to have a spare copy of the data your business needs.  But it relies on someone swapping out tapes periodically - even if you have an automatic tape library.  Tapes are physical media and subject to wear and tear.  And if something happens to the tapes that are on site, your off site copies better be reliable, or your goose is cooked.
