tape is still the best backup medium and flash has limited number of write cycles plus like a decade lifespan iirc

This is true. I work in television, and we still use VCRs to record a backup of every performance for the archives, after we're done recording it to an HDD and a DVD for better quality.

A few months ago our digital system went down and I actually got to punch from the VCRs, live on TV. It was kind of cool.
