Hello,
it depends what you want to write to tape. If it's files, then yes, that's called "file to tape"

If the question is about virtual or physical machines as a whole, then no. That makes no sense, because all advanced restore options (like instant recovery) are impossible from tape media.

Best regards,
Hannes
