Although in a pinch I would go with Jay's tar solution, had i some time to build it i would go with Advanced Maryland Automatic Network Disk Archiver (AMANDA). I've used AMANDA to back up mixed systems (Linux, AIX, SGI, SUN, Windoze) to a single tape changer via the network. Amanda is a bit of a beast to configure, but when you get it going it is as functional as the commercial alternatives.
Though if you go down that route the first thing I would suggest to research is to determine if your tape changer is supported - although AMANDA has made headway over the past few years supporting multiple-drive and tape changing robotics not everything is supported.
