Two thought on your comments. First: If restores are taking a long time due to the amount of data being restored, you could look at HSM. If your target client is a Windows 2000 machine look at OTG DiskXtender. These products will move files, based on criteria such as age, size, and/or file type, to tape and replace them with a very small tag on disk. When you recover your client only the tags are restored. This provides significant performance to recovery.
Second: With the size of today's disks, recovery using tape is simply a task that requires time. An option is to use remote disk storage. Having a real time or almost real time set of remote disks makes recovery of even the largest sites a few hour task.
