Hello Everyone.

Well i want to write some information (not a complete
backup) from my Virtual Machine to the tape drive, but
the VM can't read it.
I guess i need to attach this device to the VM so it
can read and write the tape driver but i don't know
how to do that, i found something similar but with a
cd:
Save yourself some grief. If the tape drive is being used to write image files, or even directory backups, to a tape drive, you can play some games after the DomU is running to make its internal partitions mountable in Dom0 in read-only mode and do the backup from there.

Alternatively, I use "rsnapshot" to backup my virtual OS's to a drive or LVM partition on Dom0 and use a tape drive on Dom0 for backing up from there.
