Yes. Offsite backups are an important piece for many threat models.

But the nice thing about not having proper backups is that you can pretend "the

Oops, just realized nobody posted the link:
http://www.techrepublic.com/article/tape-isnt-dying-its-getting-healthier-and-smarter/
For those who can't be bothered to read the article :) it basically
talks about a perspective that the rise in flash arrays will kill disk
arrays while tape continues to chug along as cheap reliable backup.

I came across a fascinating article by Evan Koblentz in TechRepublic Daily
Digest today entitled: “Tape isn't dying -- it's getting healthier and

But one can wish. Are there tape systems in the PDP family, et. al.
cartridges that can hold up to 30 Tbyte of compressed data and it can be
written on the tape with astonishing speed.
30Tbyte compressed*

The death of tape is greatly exagerated.
My duties today included removing 50 tapes from our Storagetek 500 tape
library and sending them offsite for safe storage. These are LTO-5
cartridges that can hold up to 30 Tbyte of compressed data and it can be
written on the tape with astonishing speed.
