True, but I wonder how viable its future is. One of my clients

What kind of removable hard drives are you getting that are cheaper than
tape?
It's not the raw cost per GB, it's the way the tapes are used. To aid
recovery times, a number of different backup sets (groups of
filesystems) are written, so the tapes aren't all used to capacity.
