Ditto.
On a system with only a manual tape drive, I set up an admin schedule
that does the DB backup to a disk OTHER than the one where the DB
resides (and preferably to a drive on another system).
You can make copies of those files to a tape at a later time, or send
them to a drive on another system.
Remember you need to copy your devconfig and volhistory files to a drive
OTHER than the data base drive, as well.
