upgrade my tape drive??

Sure... With tape, you have infinite capacity, as it's a removable
medium.
You just have to engage in "library emulation" as you have an
operator watch
a console and respond to manual mount/dismount requests.  But no serious
business wants to do that.  Your organization needs to get realistic
about
its demands for backup capacity, and pursue a real library, choosing a
technology which can meet needs for the reasonable future, or be frame
expanded.  Make the capacity planning case to your management.
