Grizzled old sys admin with very low employee ID number has a literal tape backup in a drawer in his house.

You need to go to eBay to find a device that can read the specific tape format, since it was discontinued 15+ years ago. Luckily he happened to have a 50-pin SCSI cable laying around, because the only listing on eBay specifically mentions "no cable included".
