Everyone. It’s much easier to store tapes in a fire proof and water resistant safe than to find a fire and water resistant storage. So you can keep you backup

Everyone.
It’s much easier to store tapes in a fire proof and water resistant safe than to find a fire and water resistant storage.
So you can keep you backups in disk, but last resort disaster recoveries should be on tape somewhere.
Gmail has tapes[1]. And they saved me their asses at least once. This can give you a hint of how important and how much use tapes get.
