Easy to use, manage and deploy

There are a lot of problems when you recover a tape. Like, if the website actually went down, there would be some problems recovering the tape. When it comes to the tape recovery, it's just a hassle. It's just that some data might be lost, and some accounts here and there might be lost. So, the whole operation when it comes to the covering of the tapes is quite a hard one.
