    tape backups are definitely still a thing. it’s one of the cheapest ways to store a shitload of data for a long time

      I spend a portion every day removing tapes, shipping them offsite and inserting new tapes

      Annoying but must be done

                  I stumbled into it by word of mouth in my case. I started out doing IT for public schools which gave me some experience with racking stuff, security cams, basic electrical work, etc
