I do 'tar -cjf /tmp/backup.tar.bz2 /home ... ... ...; tar -cf /dev/tape /tmp/backup.tar.bz2'. I really need to backup critical data off of the box, also.
Do note that for tape issues its suggested not to use compression, since once you get an error in a block then its far harder to recover partial data, than it is with clean "tar" files.
ofc, theres bzip2recover and other nice utils, but still it poses a problem.
I hadn't thought of this. Thanks.
