First, not all digital recordings are done in one format. "Digital recording formats use mp3 compression which sounds distorted especially at higher frequencies, while magnetic recordings sounded much clearer." No. Thus I too have fallen for the lies and trap here because I wasted too many minutes to rant about journalistic integrity-and thereby boost this fraudulent article's engagement. Why present such a visual lie about the content? Because the amateur YouTube journalists who created this do not have the journalistic integrity of ensuring that headline content actually relates to the content of the video article.Įngagement only matters. While I only watched the first 5 seconds of the video, the story is about tape storage devices for computers-not about audio cassette tapes as the misleading image of the headline and the YouTube video would have you believe. The real problem is that this story, like so much other clickbait, uses an image known to provoke interest or strong opinions when that image has nothing to do with the actual content of the story. Yea, so, I see others commenting that people did not watch the video, and, while that is true, I don't think that should matter as much as others seem to think. Online storage there makes no sense at all. China managed to own Europe's Internet backbone.

Not having offline backup cost them millions in ransom.

Can / should you risk trusting all your data to one cloud service? The 2020 SolarWinds attack proved the answer is "no." That same year, Garmin was locked out of their data. The increase in working from home due to Covid has placed even greater pressure on better backup solutions and security. Says who? The Twitter files prove any suggestions of security are nothing more than delusions. "Cloud storage security is improving all the time." It would seem, however, you are making the case for tape storage. On site tape backups wouldn't have been useful. There were 17,000 homes burned down last year just from dryer lint. "Tape storage has a relatively low cost to entry and allows people to have their data physically on site." LTO tape is the lowest-cost, simplest method of achieving ransomware recovery best practices. Tape is also lower power, easier to maintain, and again provide a LONGER reliability than HDDs and SSDs (30 years). Last year was the greatest increase since 2006 (the reason for this video). Tape storage sales have gone up every single year. Backwards compatible LTO-9 tape storage sales are booming. With four out of five businesses already utilizing tape storage systems, there's nothing to come back from, right? External drives and SSDs have their place but not for any serious data backup requirements. "I don't think data storage tapes are making a comeback." But while a common way to identify a systems manager last century was the large number of tapes on their home closet shelf, the only difference in the past three decades is the use of banks safes. Four out of five businesses utilize tape backup in 2023. That was dead long before last century's end. The past, the present, and the future of backups is tape.

Still the highest capacity, best longevity, most portable and compact, and efficient solution. Tape has always been the best way to produce off-site backups.

A middle-aged female living in the mid-west making over $100k is the most likely to do daily backups.

One third of computer users never backup. Ironically, June is Backup Awareness Month. You all might sign up for virtual drives, but you rarely use them. Just the fact fewer than 1 in 50 commenters watched the video before commenting proves it, sadly lacking the brains for tasks like producing and testing backups of their computer files. It should be about how computer owners increasingly fail to produce backups because they are morons. It has nothing to do with audio files whatsoever. This has nothing to do with mp3 music files.
