You could share a tape library as iSCSI target and connet it to the VM. I've never do a similar thing but internet give some suggestions:

Hi, I'd like to know if there is any solution to enable a Smart Array P212 PCIe card over a Windows VM ? I've a Backup Acronis Software to install, and I'd prefer to install it on a CentOS distrib, and not on a Windows 2008 R2. Our old backup software is Symantec Backup Exec and we have to keep the possibility to restore old tapes on demand. So the solution to keep a sleeping Windows VM, and have the way to enable it, just to restore a tape would be perfect. I've tried to add a new hardware with virt-manager, but this action just freeze the manager, and I need to restart the libvirtd service to unlock it. If anybody knows a way to do that, I'd be very grateful. Thanks in advance
