Disadvantages of Tape

  • Someone has to remember to undertake the backup and if necessary take the tapes offsite

  • If a restore is required, it can be time consuming and costly to retrieve tapes stored offsite

  • Backup tapes should be replaced each year

  • A test restore of all tapes should be undertaken on a monthly basis. This can be both costly and time consuming

  • The backup may not be encrypted and if lost will allow anyone access to the data

  • "Up to 50% of tape recovery attempts fail" - source Gartner Group
