And keep your audio recordings on 1"  reel to reel instrumentation 
recorders like we did at Digital Recording.

On 4mm backups.
There was a customer who used a 4mm backup and backed up every night.

The one thing someone forgot to tell them was to replace the tapes.

After about 4 years the disk failed.

The tapes were transparent.

Guess how this story ended?
