    Is there software to use a SCSI tape (on an NXP100) for
    backup.  Ideal would be (1) select f (2) click on complete
    or incremental dump, (3) specify the SCSI tape and the files,
    and (4) watch it run.

I see that you have already received an asnwer to your query, but I will
add a little.  I regularly use an Exabyte 8200 tape drive on my XL1200
and have also used one on an NXP1000.  They work fine, but you need to
patch the tape device code if you want to use all of the tape.  The
software has the old cart tape length hardcoded. If you're interested, I
have a patch that was made by a Symbolics customer engineer several
years ago to allow me to read/write 2GB of data to the Exabyte 8200
drive.
