tape backup
Magnetic data storage
A tape backup is a copy of computer data stored on magnetic tape, used for archiving or disaster recovery.
Tape remains common in enterprise settings because it's cheap for large volumes and can be stored offsite: The company keeps tape backups in a secure facility.
The technology dates to early computing but persists for long-term storage needs.
