That would kind of depend on the company's requirements would it not?
Present job we use Iron Mountain for paper storage only.  Our tapes are
taken to a bank vault locally by two IT Networking people when they cycle
them.  They are moved in unmarked boxes that once they go into the vault (I
guess they get put into another box that is marked but don't know for sure)
are never touched by the people controlling the vault.

Last job had the tapes stored in a unlocked cabinet in the IT office.  I
was setting up the move from d2t to a d2d with the cycle being weekly fulls.

It really would depend on what the company needs though.

As for the $3k month I would look at something else rather than spend that
type of money.  Armed guard to escort someone to a local bank with a safety
deposit box would cost a whole lot less.
