Thanks for your response. To answer your questions:
-amount of space needed to be backed up(you can run some Full test job on each server to get an estimate)
I haven't run a Full test job yet but the full backup will be approx. 150GB uncompressed. Compression should render this to approx. 110GB based on my legacy backups.
-do you also have disk storage you can use for backup? how much?
At the moment I don't have a spare disk in the server I am running BE2010 on. It's a Dell R710 with 4 spare SAS slots so I can definitely add in a raid1.
-how many available tapes do you have or plan on using?
I have an 8 tape LTO4 autoloader with one being my cleaning tape. I have 7 tapes to work with. I have extras as well once I exhaust their capacity.
I would prefer backing up directly to tape. Is there any advantage to backing up to disk? I'm sure it would be somewhat faster resulting in a speedier backup process but my backups run at night and there is no activity except for our 24/7 web services. Also, the tape drive is connected via SAS.
