Whats the density of your standalone tape drive?

Are you compressing your database?  By default the 
global attribute is set to 0 (Do not compress).  If you 
are on an NT Master, then in order for compression to 
work you have to have it on an NTFS file system, Unix 
uses compress.

Also what's your retention level set to?


Before I starting expiring backup images, I would look 
at those things first.
