    While it may be possible to implement tape in a log shipping application (I don't know), it seems to me that it is not desirable.

    If your log transfers are frequent, I think the following are true:

    a. Tape writes are slower than disk writes, so if transfers are frequent enough, then tape can't keep up, may need to be manually loaded/unload if automated solutions are not affordable.

    b. Tapes do snap, need to be cleaned, rotated, etc.

    I would say backup to disk, copy the file(s) to standby server (process, etc.), then archive production backup disk file(s) to tape.
