I see a lot of apps that copy to CD, DVD or to another drive. I need something that can backup to a tape drive.

Maybe Backup My PC, it orginally was Backup Exec from Veritas and I got a limited copy when I purchased my tape backup unit.
Check to see if you tape unit is supported.

Exec Backup work well with my old tape drive. But that was for Windows 95.

I'd go with Dantz Retrospect Backup. It does an excellent job of backing up open files, so you get a complete backup with all the files in it. Most other programs will skip files in-use.

You didn't mention who made your drive.

If it's compatible with the old Colorado software you may be able to goodle for it.
