Another option would be to run the free version 
of vmware server, create a small virtual machine 
running Linux, and pass-through the tape device. 
Without a GUI desktop running, a VM need not take 
up that much memory. Since vmware allows the 
creation of fast virtual networks between the 
host and the virtual machine, Windows can back-up 
through the virtual machine to the tape.

Arno's way is the best though ;-)
