We've considered using either FTP (or NFS mounted filesystems if performance is acceptable) to accomlish the same thing for copying all of our critical server objects/files to an alternate site- the DB backup to file should make this all relatively easy--

To clarify the situation: DB assigned is 90GB, DB used is 63GB, full database backup lasts for +/- 3 hours; cartridge is ejected and vaulted to another physical location by operations staff. But not so during weekends.
TSM Disks and tape storage reside physically side by side so a db backup to disk at the same physical location doesn't make really sense. The idea was simply to "virtually" vault the db backup cartridge by the means of OS to remote disks via Gigabit ethernet.
And getting cheap copies of db backups is also a charming approach.
