Depends on how many TB you need to backup and how long you need to
store your data. I have over 20TB on tape. I can not imagine swapping
around 20 hard drives and on top of that you really can not store a
hard drive for longer than a year or two and expect it to work when
you plug it back in a machine. With tapes you can store them 10 years
and be assured your data will still be readable.
