For large environments where you have a limited window for backups and a
significant amount of data to backup, though, that capital cost is far
outweighed by the speed and capacity of those drives. Spending $3000 on
DLT drive and $1800 on tapes (30 tapes @ $60 each) is well worth it if for
some reason I need to restore several hundred GB of data because of a system
crash, etc.
