The commercial data tape industry cites 30 years as the nominal lifetime of 
data on magnetic tape.  That's way longer than the viable life of a tape 
technology, which means how often we transition to new drive types.  In any 
case, it's healthy and recommended practice to move data across tapes at least 
every few years, to assure that the tape pack layers don't adhere to each 
other, and to validate that the data continues to be readable.
