Re: IBM Ultirum Tapes

How do you test the reliability or dependability of any tape?  Do you have
to perform all kinds of restoration from single object to a full system, how
long will tape last before the data on it start to become unstable, and what
are the tape tolerance to all kind of exposures e.g. sun, water, moisture,
magnetic device etc?
