Hi,
Welcome to Acronis forums! I suggest that you remove your email-address from the public thread to avoid spam.
Regarding the questions:
1 - tapes are supported only in Acronis Backup 12.5 Advanced
2 - Windows Server 2012/2012 R2 – all editions,
Windows Server 2016 – all installation options, except for Nano Server
3 - LTFS is not supported
4 - Acronis Backup 12.5 is licensed per Agent installed on a protected device or a virtual host, so the number of libraries shouldn't play a role here.
Let me know, if you have any questions.

I'd suggest installing a free trial first, see Acronis Backup 12.5: how to start a trial version
then proceed with the instructions from Getting started with a tape device
see also Tape management
Should you have any questions, feel free to ask.
