But as someone who stores multiple copies of everything both onsite and in the "cloud," I certainly don't have local tape backup and I doubt that Backblaze does either.

I mean "critical stuff" like banks and government data, not regular users.

I'm guessing a lot of "critical stuff" is not backed up on tape libraries these days. But I may be wrong. Do any cloud providers use tape at all?
