Keeping tape records in a warehouse is really cheap! That is the entire point of them. Also the fact that they are very reliable.

You can store 50PB of tape data in a warehouse and service all the warehouse, labor, and equipment for $1M/year. Meanwhile you can store 5TB of data in an S3 bucket for a year for the same price.
