Save yourself some grief. If the tape drive is being used to write image 
files, or even directory backups, to a tape drive, you can play some 
games after the DomU is running to make its internal partitions 
mountable in Dom0 in read-only mode and do the backup from there.
Alternatively, I use "rsnapshot" to backup my virtual OS's to a drive or 
LVM partition on Dom0 and use a tape drive on Dom0 for backing up from 
there.
