I remember back in the 90s using Compaq DAT tape autoloaders for enterprise backups for all the Netware servers.  Once the backups exceeded the amount of tapes in the DAT autoloaders, we moved on to Compaq DLT tape drives.

These days we have finally moved away from tapes.  Everything is disk snapshots or some type of disk based backup.
