I vault to iron mountain every day, so I can guestimate my needs pretty easily, based on history.
Having said that, my Oracle team updated their retentions, and went to a once a week full with daily incremental backups, and my weekly data usage went down 100 TB.
Tape count? Not so much...
2017 average - 278 tapes a week, 700TB.
2018 YTD - 273 tapes a week, 578TB...
so much for saving tapes...
