Yes, but it's completely manual.

We set this up at a customer.  We created a storage pool called sysback and
defined tape volumes to this pool.  Then we used these volumes for sysback.
Actually, we did it the other way around: we created the sysback tape and
then defined it to the pool.  Once defined to the pool, *SM won't try to
grab the tape for something else.  You can even check the tape out and
update its access to off-site if you would like.

This seemed to work ok for us.
