besides the fact, that there is a tape system for the NeXT on 
the market, why are you so keen on tapes, when you can have a
disk? Tape cartridges are not much cheaper than a disk, so
what is the point I'm missing?
(Well, the only pain is that the software does not (yet ?) 
support multi-volume backup.... If this could be added (hint, hint)).
