Tape drive backups (lemmy.world)

Hey folks, being the family IT man I've held onto all of my families photos/videos over the last 20 years

I've been pretty careless with the backups and I know if I don't do anything it's only a matter of time before I lose them

Although I've never used them, tape drives seem to be the best so I thought I'd ask here if anyone uses them for their homelab?

It might be overkill for a few GB of photos but I'd also use the tape drives for data hoarding purposes so it's a win win in my book

Eh it's a lot of hq BluRay rips of disks I don't have anymore. I could reacquire and rerip, but it'd be a total pita. The rest is personal docs/photos/etc. I've been spitballing sticking a NAS at my mom's, but money's tight right now.
