Yes, but at much higher cost.
Tapes themselves are cheaper, but the drive (and potentially operating cost?) can definitely be higher for the industrial stuff
Presumably when we're talking off-site backups we're talking about a separate company sitting somewhere in an abandoned nuclear bunker which can justify the price of a tape drive or twenty.
