Is there any tape media backup system that works through USB?

So…I was wondering. Is there any backup tape system that would be advisable to use for backing up some TBs? I guess I need it to be USB, as the server is a micro PC, one of those tiny ones you can hang from behind a monitor. It’s an HP ProDesk.

Thanks!

Found from a google, no experience with it.

Tape is not a nice medium for the self-hoster, the drives are expensive, the tapes need to be carefully stored securely (temperature and humidity controled). Its a lot of hassle. That said, if you find something good, I’m interested as well, so report back.

No shit. I still have a 5090 still stuck in my throat. $8k for a tape drive, hell, I could have got two 5090s.
