The BEST feature among the options for realizing cost savings in backup management practices is the decommissioning of old tapes. Decommissioning involves taking out-of-date or unnecessary tapes out of use. This can lead to cost savings as it allows for the efficient use of storage resources, reduces the need for unnecessary storage space, and eliminates costs associated with maintaining and managing tapes that are no longer needed for backup purposes.

Decommissioning old tapes is the best feature among the options for realizing cost savings in backup management practices. This process involves removing outdated or redundant backup tapes that are no longer needed, thus reducing storage costs and streamlining backup operations. Refreshing data, rotating tapes, and defragmenting data on tapes are important aspects of backup management but are not directly related to cost savings in the same way that decommissioning old tapes is.
