alt Hacker NewsDepending on the amount of data you have, might it not be less expensive than build the tape drive?
An LTO drive is easily $10.000. You can restore a lot of S3 data for that amount of money. Sadly getting cheaper tape options is not really possible anymore.

It is tempting for many, but often doesn't end well for businesses. =3
I paid < $400 for my LTO5
