What software (other than Retrospect and some A/UX stuff) can take advantage of tape drives on an old Mac? (This includes the Apple Tape Backup 40SC and the tape drives built into the WGS systems.)

Apparently the Tape Backup 40SC came with the ingeniously named software package: Tape Backup 40SC 2.0.1

But it only runs on System 6.0.8 or older (not compatible with System 7 or later.)

Apple lists FastBack Plus from Fifth Generation Systems as another solution that's compatible with the 40SC.
