VP is taking a copy of the museums data. ( Are those tapes encrypted?) (
If not you are looking at a Information breach very soon, and why does
the VP need to take the tapes home, why not contract to Iron mountain or
put in a safe onsite to hold those tapes and rotate them accordingly) 

Food for thought, but the VP having a copy of all the Museums data isn't
the best idea, what if he leaves, he just left with all your data
accordingly, take it to the next competitor ( I dunno if that is a
high-risk) but the information on the drives definitely might have
proprietary or sensitive information about your organization, that
honestly, the VP really doesn't have a legit reason to take outside the
confines of the organization.

Subject: backing up too much data

I have been backing up all our data to tape drives. A vice president of
the Museum likes to take a copy home regularly in case our machines blow
up...

But now we have nearly two terabytes of data. Tape drives go up to 1.7
T's, but I can only find libraries going higher.

What other options do I have, so the VP can still take home a copy of
the data?

Extra HDs take so much time.
