Tape Backup technology may seem quite inconvenient and impossible in the digital age and an era where cloud has made everything easy to access. However, this vintage technology comes with a high security advantage because cyber criminals will have no way to access your information

Yes, i think it it necessary because tape management is till the foundation for effective date back up. Like in accounting, the books are necessary for audit and in the events of any disaster, it can be easily retrieved. These are physical assets that can be easily stored.

I still have a Zip drive and a Jazz drive from Iomega (probably some of you were not born at that time...)
A few days ago i connected my 1984 Mac Classic because of the humidity and Bingo! Everything still working! My Seagate 500GB that I bought last year, died a few weeks ago...

Just to add:
After surfing few sites and researching about the Tape Backup, here are some of the advantages I could list down over disk-based technologies for long-term data storage
1. High capacity as LTO tape cartridges can now store up to 6.25TB on a single tape.
2. Fast performance and Lower cost per GB (average cost of $.01/GB)
3. Reduced energy costs as Tape drives use less power and generate less heat than disk drives,
4. Portability & Greater reliability as the error rate of tape technology is superior to that of disk
5. Better longevity, good Scalability and Compatibility

Tape backup could be an ancient backup procedure that uses tape or any cartridge because of the memory device. monumental amounts of information within the fixed disk will be duplicated into the tape specified within the event of associate degree unfortunate fixed disk crash, the information will be remodeled.
