Your command doesn't actually match your stated intent, because it doesn't
actually log to a tape drive. It logs to another program, which isn't
supported.
It would probably work if you logged directly to the tape device,
although that won't write a compressed log. But if your drive has hardware
compression, that might not matter.
Otherwise, you might try rotating the log every now and then, and
then using another program to write the log to tape after a new log
file has been started.
