RE: Storage of a Save 21 Tape

In the past I've used an offsite storage company.  They had a climate
controlled room for all of your media needs and warehousing for paper
documents.  It was 35 miles away and delivered everything in an armored
truck.  I think the company name was Shurgard, so we had Sungard and
Shurgard.

subject: Storage of a Save 21 Tape

I'd like to hear everyone's methods for storage of their Save 21 tapes.

I store my business' tape at home as opposed to the bank's safety
deposit
box because of the possibility that I'd need to retrieve it when the
bank
would be closed -- the thought is horrendous to have the machine go down
on
a Saturday night and not be able to begin recovery until Monday morning
(and if Monday were a holiday. . .).  Plus, the flooding in the Gulf
Coast
cities has shown that even if the bank was open 24x7 there's no
guarantee
the tape would be usable.

The only holes in my plan to keep the tape at my house are:
1)  A major disaster might possibly affect my house as well as the
business
even though I'm 15 miles away.
2)  If I'm on vacation and the tape is needed, I'd have to work out
getting
access (a minor problem).

So, I'm trying to figure out if there's a better way and am looking for
other ideas.
