Nope - just planning that the environment is going to keep them OK.  Small
risk.  The expectation is that we'll never read these tapes, most archives
are for SOX or other legal requirements.

Do you rewind you LTOs after some time to keep them in shape?

Just disposed of a 9-track drive a few months ago.  One of our remote
offices still has a drive I think.

I'm sure the oil companies are still reading 800bpi tapes.  These
contain data that the petrophysicists use and are frequently old.  The
drives were typically in the back of a truck out in the field - hence
the 800bpi requirement. 

It's been a few years since I've seen a paper tape reader though :-)
