I know of several very large companies that still use tape backups. Granted they're not like the cassette tapes we used back in the 20th century, but it is still the same tech.
Those tape libraries are more akin to zip/jaz drives.
Neat. Back ups in that world im sure there is a whole world of options/solutions depending on what it is that needs to be preserved?
