I've asked for more info on the tape support but so far haven't heard back
from them.  The salesguy mentioned a 30-day full eval copy was available
which I'll try if they'll send me the link info.

We've got a copy of the Acronis workstation version (and Ghost as well). 
The prices I got for Ghost to image the PCs was quite a bit lower than
Acronis.

Do you not use 'traditional' backup software now, i.e., Veritas?
