Recently my company deviced we needed a data archive, ie, some place where we can keep data for severall years, as opposed to a normal backup where tapes and such are reclycled every month. I've been looking for solutions, and have come across some advertising for internet storage services (like Amazon...?). I'd like to know if anyone uses (or knows who uses) such services at a corporate level. I need to store over a terabyte of files of all kinds, for periods of over 5 years. Any suggestions are apreciated.

We have the same "tapes to bank" system, but i'm looking for a system that will keep not just what files I have now on the network, but also all that have meanwhile been erased/altered, as well as versions of files. I need to be able to, say, recover a file (or show it's versions) that was deleted 2 years ago.

you can use adrive and online storage solution, a bit pricy for the extent youre looking for but it gets the job done, the first upload will be very long but afterwords you can icremanly update it.

Ironmountain is probably the largest most reputable company for this type of service. They offer secure transfer and storage of physical media for archiving purposes as well as some in the cloud solutions. I have not priced their services in quite a while, and currently I work for an organization that handles their own archiving and storage.
