accounting for the situation where one tape fails, and one backup fails?

I would like to argue with this one slightly. Most of the backups I

I don't need generations of data because our policy is that we don't
keep things for data-recovery purposes, only for our own mistakes or
troubles.
If we were keeping for data recovery we would be keeping far more than
just 3 generations.
3 ensures that one complete set is in the data safe if there are
problems with making a backup.
