Pull 10 160GB disks out of your array to swap them for another set
(offline DR archive).
Drop one disk on a concrete floor.
Pull 20 tapes out of the drive.
Drop one tape on the floor.
Which has a better chance of surviving?
This list has gone round and round on this at least twice in the
last 4 months.
When you're backing up terabytes, archiving for legal reasons, etc.
modern tapes are more than adequite, and less expensive (in real
terms) than drives.
