We don't use tapes, everything we have is in the cloud, at a minimum everything is spread over multiple datacenters (AZ's in AWS parlance), important stuff is spread over multiple regions, or depending on the data, multiple cloud providers.

Last time I used tape, we used Ironmountain to haul the tapes 60 miles away which was determined to be far enough for seismic safety, but that was over a decade ago.
