How much do you need to backup? A few hard drives can take care of most consumer needs, and per GB they're very cheap, no reason to use tape imo...

  Ever need to backup a terabyte of data on a bluray? How about 500GB? It's impossible at 25GB a disc.

    BDXL can give you 100GB per disc, so that's better, but still a gigantic pain in the ass for modern HD. The discs are pretty crazy expensive too, looks like.

      Exactly my point. BDXL is a pipe dream for consumers.

    Not impossible but it's a pain in the ass. The current state of backup software is atrocious for such a task too.
