The way I have been doing it is to copy the tape files
to a LIF floppy
disk file (real or just emulated with HPDRIVE), then archive that -
either just the HPDRIVE file or a ImageDisk archive of the real disk.
Recreating the tape is the inverse process of copying the virtual or
real disk to the tape.
And what about SECUREd files? I'm thinking of a binary program that
ideally dumps the cartridge to e.g a single floppy disk file. I've done
something similarly for the IBM 5110, but I'm no HP 85 expert at all.
There's quite a large HP community, I can't imagine that nobody has
attempted that before.
