It's about $30 for a 200Gb (native) LTO2 tape. Tapes are well-tested for longevity (EXCEPT DATS!) My experience with old CDRs is about a 2% failure rate on 2 year old discs. DVDs are too new to have any usable data. Yes a decent tape drive is more expensive than a DVD drive. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
