Why do companies still use tape drives?


tapes allow multiple copies, not easy unless have multiple hdd or sdd
well, tape more immune failure - no crash hdd, , ssd not reliable yet "critical" application. in other words, more reliable have few copies of data on tape hdd or sdd.

said, high end companies have multiple nas/san/raid configurations, allowing online backups hdd farm of multiple drives. provides speed , redundancy.

reliability of data recovery highest priority. whatever technology provides that, companies use backup - depending on cost....

why use tape drives store data instead of hdd or ssd. tape drives better long term data storage?
