Ok, so you use DAT-72 tapes.
It can be 36GB or 72GB with compression.
How large is your TenTimes Database backup?
I think that there is just not enough space on your tape to backup all data.
If you can't replace tape drive with something bigger, then you should decide what is more important to backup, database or filesystems.
Or change backup policy to incremental and this way decrease amount of data.
