I can't tell you how many times at the various programming jobs I have worked that we needed to restore the backups of our source code to an older version only to find out that the tapes were corrupt. I have also experienced CD/DVD rot when we tried them as a substitute because of tape problems. At one company I was at we got so tired of the corrupt tapes/disc's that we started keeping everything on hard drives, but even then the harddrives would still go bad sitting on the shelves occasionally.
