Geez, I feel deprived after reading all these great suggestions.  The system
I run is currently backed-up to a 9 track tape machine.  No matter what, I'm
busy during the backup, too, usually trying to figure out why the terminal
at the front of the complex doesn't want to work that day.

One day, I'll convince the company's president that it would be more than
worthwhile to buy a real tape backup drive.  Meanwhile, I'll sweat it out
with the mag tapes.  8-)
