What is the best way to store data for a long time then?

all the major players say "tape". (but that's partly for practical issues like scaling and history)

  • And yet nobody wants to actually offer a tape-based solution that's practical, easy to get, holds enough data, and doesn't cost a blithering fortune.

    Even if you are willing to spend that small fortune, good luck actually getting all the parts together without enterprise contracts.
