(fill in the > blank with your favorite excuse/reason). No (We have DAT tapes going back years and I can still read them. We do a verify after writing and test the backup regime when we change it to make sure we havent done something wrong) Occasionally the tapes fail during writing, but in 8 years I only had one fail when trying to restore after a successful verify.
