I know of several very large companies that still use tape backups. Granted they’re not like the cassette tapes we used back in the 20th century, but it is still the same tech.
Those tape libraries are more akin to zip/jaz drives.

You just happened to get a reply from a former backup engineer who has had to explain this concept to customers.
Something else in the backup world that gets regularly misused: backups != disaster ecovery.
Disaster recovery is a whole plan of action. Backups can be a part of DR, yes, but I have had way too many companies consider their backups as the totality of their DR.

That’s going to have to wait. In my 40s now, and still waiting for the “when you grow up you’ll be conservative” to happen.

Technically speaking, RAID is redundancy not backup. A proper backup is an archived copy of the data stored not stored in the same logical infrastructure as the primary data.
With a RAID you can swap in a new drive if one (or more, depending on your RAID#) drive in your RAID array dies. If enough of your redundancy in a RAID fails, you will lose data.
With a proper backup you can restore the entirety of the RAID array even if the original data has been physically destroyed.
- Comment on Elon Musk's X claims it's now a 'video-first platform' as it tries to reverse an advertiser exodus that has cost it billions in value 10 months ago:
I know you’re joking but, related: I tried opening a Webex meeting on my phone which told me to download the app. App downloaded, try to open meeting, app opens…and then opens the meeting in Firefox.
I really hate apps that could be a website (hint: most of them).

My wedding band is titanium and wood ($17). My wife’s is silver and cubic zirconia cast as Nenya, Galadriel’s ring from LotR and made by WETA Workshop, who did the movie props ($75).
So much cooler than gold and diamonds => 3 months salary, at least for us.
