Yes you can ask to have several copies, as you simply pay for the tapes. The archival solution can store data also on disks or any S3-compatible storage.
We also implemented the ability to turn off entirely (cut the power) disk chassis when unused, to save power (using 60 or 102 drives chassis). So if you have enough data (a few hundred terabytes to petabytes) it can make sense too.
