do not have whitepapers or things like that. but:
* last month my fathers old pc got defective (motherbord, 7 years old).
Hey, I was little surprised, that i had no machine around with IDE
connectors .
* i don't know any commodity harddrives with warranty longer than
5years, wheras tapes are statet to last up to 30years by manufacturers
(further readings: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_Tape_Open)
anyway, for long term archiving you will hit other problems like: can
you read your data with the software you will have in 10years or will
the old software still run? Your restored data will be worth nothing if
you can't work with it. :)
