How big are your backups? You could get a second tape Drive and then split them onto 2 different tapes or you could replace the one you have with a larger capacity one.. You could also backup to disk...get an external hard drive and run backups as a file (not the greatest but would work).
Do you run a 7 day rotation on tapes or a 5 day. If a 5 day then you could run incremental backups....a full on friday and then incrementals on mon-thurs.
Depends how much you want to backup and how fast you would need to recover in a crisis.
Online backups are good....but pricey. I use to use a company called Amerivault to do those....it was awesome and I could restore files onto the fileserver in the UK before the chuckleheads over there could figure out what tape they needed to put in.
