Suggestion for a new backup hardware or method

Hi all. We are in need to adjust our backup method and hardware due to the increase in our data. We currently have 2 LTO-1 tape drive and we're running full backups every night and had to exclude a lot of things because we're running out of space on our tapes. Below is the information of the server and the backup schedule:

Server SK
 - Our Domino Server in Windows Server 2003 R2
 - 445 GB of Hard Drive. Used about 300 GB
 - Intel Xeon 5140 2.33 Ghz
 - Full Backup everynight

Server SH
 - Domain Controller. WIndows Server 2003 R2
 - 150 GB
 - Intel Pnetium D 3.00 GHz

Server CR
 - File Server. Windows Server 2003 R2
 - 600 GB (separated into 4 drives with different sizes)
 - Intel Xeon 3.00 GHz

Server SH and CR are backed up into one tape every night.

We're looking to upgrade the tape drives so we can have a complete and good backup because right now we don't have one. Please advise, thank you.
