TAPES here have at most 1 small error each 8 GB or so which all get corrected usual, if they aren't used too much yet. Usually first 25 usages TAPE is more reliable than CD's or DVD's here. Note i had backupped all nalimov's EGTBs to supercomputer tape which is 100% sureness it's on it yet, but i can't login to that machine since 1 januari 2004, as the sysadmins used up my time (for which i was very angry) causing to have used 93000 hours of system time whereas i had budget for only 90000. I didn't feel like asking for another extension of that (which would cost me 500 pages of a4 writing at least and 6 months). Anyway, my experiences with highend Tape are REAL good. Especially DAT tapes. Most reliable backup method ever. Vincent
