To which I'd point out I've got three tapes in rotation (well, six
actually, since they're each paired with a daily incrementals tape).
I'd feel safer with a four stage backup rotation, so I'll probably end
up picking up another couple tapes soon.

Just to be properly paranoid, I also keep the most recent level zero at
my office rather than at home.
