    Problem is that you will only know a when job has failed with Status 96.

    You can enable checkpoints on all Filesystem Backups, with will mark Status 96 job as Incomplete. 
    Once you have changed tapes, you can resume the Incomplete jobs.

    See this as a workaround.

    Your environment has outgrown your backup infrastructure and should be sufficient motivation to upgrade technology.
    LTO3 has been marked EOL by all manufacturers.
    LTO6 is the current tape drives being sold.
