I’m entertaining the thought to write my backups onto tape storage. So my questiont to this community is: does someone know where (if any) to get cheap and simple (my requirements are “just writes & reads the data and is usable with a Linux machine”) used tape drives?
Thanks for any hints.

Can’t vouch for being tested. Usually tested to power on If not otherwise listed for as/is etc.
Ask geophysicists or people dealing with geophysical data. Storing on tape is pretty much industry standard, and drives are upgraded now and then for better speed and data density.
