One of the main issues our company is having with this concept is the ability of a "terrorist" to delete the data on disk, and overwrite it, or encrypt it, and hold it hostage.
Even if my tape at iron mountain is expired, it is still valid on tape and can be recovered by restoring a recent catalog or importing.
You will need to convince me that my data is safe, whether from disaster, dumbasster, or intentional malice.
You earn a Kudo for 'dumbasster'. That is AWESOME. I've never seen that before.
With any disk based solution, I think your answer is always going to be replication. I get what you're saying with tape, but I've had plenty of tapes fail after sitting in an Iron Mountain cave, so that's not guaranteed either. There's a seriously false sense of security with the tape method.

In support of tape, Technically, tape should be more reliable than disk ( Source esg-global.com: The Technical and Operational Values of Barium Ferrite Tape Media ) - provided it is handled corrected, and stored correctly.
