Info:
        To recover just raw data from the tape, that is, get past
        the EOD, and dump any available data after it onto another
        tape, the cost is $500 plus $5/MB.  So a blank tape would
        be $500, one with 1GB would be $5500.

        If recovery of files from within a backup set is also needed
        (that is, not just the raw data, but remake a valid backup
        saveset with the remaining valid files), the cost goes up
        to $20/MB.
