Re: The last Windows Server Operating System

Tapes do work with 2008 and 2012 - only you don't have any longer tape support in the OS. If you still need tapes, you need also more modern software to handle them. Most smaller system are no longer backed up to single tape devices, or small tape libraries (today external USB disks are faster and easy as well to be secured off-site) - if you're going to use tape, probably you're using some larger tape library which will need anyway a good management application.
