We recently had a set of three LTO3 tapes fail out of an order of 60
(or, at least three, since we haven't gone through the entire order
yet). Are there statistics out there for how frequent this is? Does
anyone mitigate this by ordering from multiple vendors to guarantee that
you don't get a single batch? The problem I'd like to avoid is having
the same data end up on onsite and offsite tapes that are in the same batch.
