Bob,

This is very true.  I have some of the tape from the '80 that I have
no machine to read it.

I think we had a discussion about this a month ago and someone
suggested a good solution.
You need to rotate your archival media - not only the media, but also
the technology behind it.

For example, I have a number of tape, when CD available, I should have
move that to CD.
When Blue-Ray is available, I should move from CD to Blue-Ray, etc.. etc..

This is also true to the software that is used to archive them.  For
example, Vista archive does not read older Window back-up software.
You need to get an additional software to read it.

For Unix, in general, "tar" work great. :)
