Was it really that bad? Guess it depends on how many tapes you're talking. I
always found them better than sliced bread so long as you had SCSI.  A
business I used to work for was bought out by a much larger company, must at
least 25 years back now.. they insisted on backups nightly, and got someone
to install a DAT drive, none of the office staff new how to drive it though,
so they were doing one backup per tape... :)  Probably would've been able to
fit a weeks worth on a single tape.
