The figure above shows that the majority of IT organizations use tape autoloaders and/or libraries or silos for backup. Tape autoloaders are used by almost 50% of the companies (compared to 15% in 2003), followed by tape libraries/silos at 45% (also 45% in 2003). Disk arrays are used for backup by 32% of the surveyed companies (up from 9% in 2003).

As shown in the figure below, DLT tape is the most popular backup media and is used in more than half of the surveyed sites. The use of LTO and AIT tape media, as well as disk arrays, has grown significantly over the last year, while the use of DDS and Travan tape has decreased since the 2003 survey.
....

Tape remains the media of choice for backup and archiving, and DLT is still the dominant tape format despite significant encroachment by LTO and, to a lesser degree, AIT. Meanwhile, disk-based backup systems continue to gain in popularity, and the reliability issues associated with tape backup need to be more effectively dealt with in order for tape to retain its popularity.
