There was only ever one tape subsystem that *I* knew of that allowed
you to mount it and view it as a file system, and that was the (now-
ancient)
The main reason is that, in order to do this you really need a high-
speed random access device. Tape drives are neither high speed (at
least
not the speed you really need) nor are they random access (they are
sequential access).
Perhaps someone has written a tape driver that will end

In most cases, you can't mount a tape device like a file system. You can
access it via tar, cpio, dump...various other archiving and backup/restore
packages.

I can also recommend AMANDA. It can be a little tricky to set up. There
is no GUI to set it up. You have 2 config files that you will need to
