that's what I do
that tape will last a long as time in case anything were to happen to my raid1 array which is backed up to another raid1 array, so in theory i have 4 digital copies and 1 tape.
These huge cheap drives they have nowadays are awesome.
in the early days there was no way i could keep everything on drives,
made it more time consuming if you needed to make a promo clip or whatever later on
you had to find the tape you wanted, dump a fresh copy on the drive from tape, then go from there
having your whole raw library at your fingertips in raw format is great and saves time
