My sysadmin professor told me to not learn about tape backups because they are going away soon
Like 3 years later ransomware was invented
tape backups are definitely still a thing. it's one of the cheapest ways to store a shitload of data for a long time
I spend a portion every day removing tapes, shipping them offsite and inserting new tapes
Annoying but must be done
