I used to swap tape cassettes out at a large hospital every night. If you could find some used hardware and had the technical expertise to administer it you could absolutely use tape backups. IIRC the cassettes themselves were dirt cheap, it was the big tape deck and some of the accessories that got really pricy. Probably not worth it unless it fits your specific situation.
