What kind of dipstick would wait 5-10 years after their backup
solution end-of-lifed to worry about this?

We've probably been through a half dozen different backup tape
formats alone in 10 years.  When you have a discontinuity like this,
(hardware/software/whatever), if you have a half a brain, you'll
move forward everything worth keeping asap.
