Have you looked into Snapmirror to tape for your backups? You lose on incrementials, but that may not be a big deal for you. It's a block level backup of the entire volume. Might help speed things up.
Yes, I have. But I worry about doing a restore and losing a tape block. I suspect I might lose an entire volume that way.

actually backing them up.
When you have a large volume it will take a while to look at each file, it's worse with volumes that have a large number of small files.
Good thought, but no.
The backup is slow after the metadata dump is finished.
Peak is slow as well (5 Meg or so).
