"disk based backups" is a poor way of expressing "backup to disk, then
offload to tape"
for years (when I was supporting TSM and it's ilk), I used this
method. it improves performance for restores that are needed "the day
after," and uses less tapes and bandwidth later.
i don't know any organization, that values its data, that doesn't do
off site rotation. oh, and encrypt those tapes!
