We are looking at the same issue. In our case, we need to perform IMAGE
backups of 2-4 Terabytes of data, weekly.

We are looking at LTO2 (200GB native per cartridge).

Saw this blurb:

"The Ultrium LTO2 is the ideal choice for modern data centers where the backup 
window is shrinking, backing up 400 GB in less than two hours. This device has 
60MB/s data transfer rate (compressed) with Data Rate Matching to
accommodate host speeds between 10 MB/s and 30MB/s. LTO2 allows backup of
216.0 GB/hour (compressed). "

Of course this is a sales pitch (not mine, the vendors).

As always, YMMV !
