tar should continue to run even if there are
errors.... anyway, in stead of reinventing some
wheels, have you looked into amanda?

The is a full blown backup tool, including
recovery, tape management, handling tape changer
control if needed etc. all from a fairly simple
config file.

It can also make backup of remote systems and
use a staging approach to increase backup speed.

I hope this helps a bit.
