You could do a full backup once per week with differentials the rest.
I would use BakBone NetVault for the software because it only takes 10 minutes to setup and is very user friendly and cheap.
I would use a STK L20 tape library with 2 SDLT drives or DLT 8000 drives, this would allow you about 20 minutes for a full backup with about 5 minutes for differentials, depending on change of data.
You would use DLT IV tapes for the DLT 8000 or SDLT tapes for the SDLT drives. All in all the cost should be bellow 50K.
