Tape Drives

Tape drives are used mostly to backup computers. The reason for this is that tape backups are very slow, and they operate off of a tape roll. The tape roll is similar to cassette tapes used for music recording. Tape drives are an inexpensive method used to back up large amounts of data. When large enterprises and networks need to backup valuable data, they use tape drives.
