I can feel your pain as we hear nightmare stories all the time, but I would be 
willing to bet a case of your favorite beer that the problem was your software, 
not you tape or tape drive (unless your tapes were physically damaged).  Maybe 
you should try a different backup application.

I've been doing this stuff for almost 30 years (I was part of the hardware 
design team for Archive) and I've not once seen a tape (any type - QIC, DAT, 
DLT, AIT, VXA, LTO, and others) fail due to anything short of physical damage 
when the backup software wasn't the real problem.
