Thanks for All Suggestion
First of all this backup device and software should be compatiable with your VM. There are certain vendor supported tape drives and media which works with VM's.
Please have a look at this article http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1016407 which details about the configuration.
Hope this helps.
