Tapes are still probably viable - but only at the high end.. Slap a SL8500 / TS3500 with Lots of LTO4 drives hundreds of tapes and the cost / GB starts coming down. (esp if you look at things like cooling, power, etc (High End storage like a Symm can power drives down, but their not exactly cheap - or really needed for backups)).
