I'd use a separate machine with a set of cheap SATA disks and connect my
tape drives to this machine. Then I would mirror the data from the
virtual machines to this backup server with rsync and write them to tape.
This would be a quick solution and has worked well for me in the past.

If you need more features and have some spare time you should have a look
at amanda or bacula.
