ages ago there also was always the recommendation that you should have two drives, so if one gets out of alignment you'll notice when it starts to create tapes that proper drives can't read anymore. Not sure if that's still a concern with modern ones?

> Not sure if that's still a concern with modern ones? No, that's not really a concern currently, and I actually never heard that in combination with LTO - which is relatively modern.

  Good to know. Quite possibly folklore that got transferred over to LTO.
