I've been keeping an eye on tapes for literally a decade or more, but for my personal backups hard drives get enough bigger every year that I'm comfortable with (for now) a pair of 8TB usb drives with secondary local backups which I swap between plugged in at home and powered down in my locked desk drawer at work every Monday. I've got a while to go yet before I'm worried about capacity there, and 12TB drives are already available, and will easily be in the right budget soft spot for me when I need them.
