How rich will I need to be to get one of these for my home storage array? It is hard to find a cloud backup provider that will take 10+TB without freaking out o

  Without knowing how much storage space you have nor what kind of array you own I can tell you with 99.99% certainty it would be by far much cheaper to just buy the same storage hardware and just copy your data to it.

    I get that but I would really like tape backup if it was viable, it's simpler and more compact.

      Tape backup isn't simple. Steer clear of it. It would be faster, easier, and cheaper to backup to a second set of disks and store them at a relative's or friend's place. Some people keep a copy of their data at their place of work. Personally I'm opposed to that.

        Why are you opposed to that? I store an encrypted ZFS volume at work. I dont expect to ever need it but it’s just one of many redundant copy stored around.
