This is a removable storage device mainly used for backing up data. The drive acts like a tape recorder, reading data from the computer and writing it on to the tape. Since tape drives have to scan through lots of tape to read small amounts of scattered data.That is why they are used almost exclusively for data backup. The benefit of tape drives is that they typically have large capacities for storing data, for a lower cost than hard drives similar in size. Also, multiple tapes can be used to make incremental backups (daily, weekly, monthly, etc.), which is much cheaper than using multiple hard drives.

As information-technology budgets shrink, low-cost tape storage has become more attractive as a way to manage ever increasing corporate data growth.
