Tapes are still common, actually. They're cheap per GB and are quite large and reusable.
There is pg_dump available to dump the database itself for backup purposes. As for if the disk snapshot (I'm assuming it's a snapshot and not just a copy of the disk while running!!!!!! CHECK THIS!) will be a sufficient backup, I believe so, but you would defiantly be best checking with the postgres mailing list.
