This is true, but there is one problem in the disaster recovery universe

you will have lost your data forever.

Now, if your NAS is on the other end of a fast fiber connection a couple of
miles down the road.... ;)

As mentioned elsewhere, any media you use (and this argument is specifically about media) does not in itself resolve the off-site backup need. But you _can_ carry both tapes and hard drives in hotswap cages off-site, or you _can_ do the fast fiber thing, or whatever. This is part of the backup _strategy_ that needs solving but is, mostly, independent of media issues.
