What are you backing up? Why? Which tapeless path?
If you have to protect against, e.g., earthquake, fire, flood, backing up
to another disk in the same facility won't help. If you need 10 years of
weekly backups, disk will be far more expensive than tape.

I'm quite certain that you have legal requirements for records retention.
Your backup strategy should take those into account.
