They are not really 'different' except for how they are treated (The copies are
treated as READ ONLY except the Generational)
For a long time, I had 3 tapes (Yes, cartridge tape drives were the backup medium):
Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow (I noted the actual date on the label).
Yesterday was the tape I grabbed if I accidentally deleted a file and had to restore it. Today is the target for Today's backup, Tomorrow (was the day before 'Yesterday') Tapes were a bit pricey back then . The big guys used 9"tape (like the ones seen in older SiFi movies), Those had a complete SET copy shipped off site for disaster recovery. The estimate was we could be up and limping on a remote site (we had agreements in place) in 2 days in case of a computer room disaster. Thank the stars, we never needed that.
