Well, that's an entirely different challenge.
You need a second tape drive or you need a lot of disk
space that you can use to duplicate images to. Then I
would archive those duplicated images and send those
tapes off site.
(There are probably 100 different answers to your
question, off the top of my head, this is what I came
up with)
Documenting each step so you can recover the files
necessary should the need arise.
