Re: DLT Tape life
there will be no absolute answer, as it depends for example on:
1. How often a tape is used
2. What condition is it stored in
Also how important is the data to you.
A single tape that is used in a open office environment to back up daily will survive shorter than a tape that is part of a backup set used once a month, stored in good conditions.
If data retrieval is critical I would perform multiple backups.
We tend to change our tapes every 3 years

Re: DLT Tape life
It is either,
30-year guaranteed archival life.
Durability up to 1,000,000 head passes or an average of 10,000 loads/unloads.
With Regards,
Siva.

Re: DLT Tape life
We use a DLTtape IV in a DLTvs80 drive.
HP recommends the tape be replaced after 100 full backups.
As far as shelf life, I don't know.
