I'm considering getting into LTO-9 tape storage and was thinking about offering cold storage backups as a way to offset the cost of the drive. I'm imagining this would be for data where a few days of retrieval time is acceptable.

What would be a reasonable price point for TB/month that you'd be willing to pay for that kind of service?

I know there are a lot of details to work out – security, maintenance, retrieval times, incremental backups, etc. – I'm just trying to gauge feasibility and get a feel for what people would actually pay before I invest further.
