It looks like the tape is not big enough for the backup. I don't know
if the backup program you are using allows for multiple tape backups or
how it handles them.
You might need a tape drive with more capacity, and speed. I back up
about the same amount of data, about 10 GB, and it only takes about 2
1/2 hours. The other option is to use an external hard drive for the
backup. This would probably be cheaper than upgrading the tape drive
but the media is not as portable.
