I don't know if anyone has ever tried a combination of real and
virtual tapes in a RAIT mirror config.  One "drive" could be
your tape, the other could be a disk-based one.  I've always
felt this could be an interesting solution to lots of arrangements.
Off-site tapes for archive, on-site vtapes for fast and easy restore.
