Logical Log Backup Method

Hello, If I'm pointing the LTAPEDEV to a tape device, and I understand if the tape is full, then logical log can't backup and the database will eventually hang. In this case, e.g., if the tape drive is bad, can I just change the LTAPEDEV device to /dev/null and do a ontape -c to resume ONLINE asap? Also, if I'm using a file for LTAPEDEV, can I switch file while logical log is idle? We are looking at ON-Bar, but it is not really as easy/fast or trouble-free as we thought to be.
