About tape libraries

These environments are intended for long term data storage. Files are recorded on magnetic tapes and can be accessed by inserting required cartridges into the reader with the help of a robotic arm. The main advantage of this method is the ability to store a massive amount of information in a relatively cheap and safe way compared to cloud services like Dropbox. Major drawbacks include slow search and access times.
