Give Retrospect (by Dantz Development) a try.  It's really wonderful
software, very customizable, works well in the background under
Multifinder and with nearly every tape drive in the world.

Also, should you tire of moving the tape drive from Mac to Mac, they
make a network-compatible version so that you can backup several Macs
to a tape drive connected to another Mac on the network.
