I've given up on the use of tape. I use external hard drives for backup.
You should always back up with tar to 9 track tape stands, the way the

And keep your audio recordings on 1" reel to reel instrumentation
recorders like we did at Digital Recording.
On 4mm backups.
There was a customer who used a 4mm backup and backed up every night.
The one thing someone forgot to tell them was to replace the tapes.
After about 4 years the disk failed.
The tapes were transparent.
Guess how this story ended?
