You can use the standard OS supplied programs such as tar or cpio. I also sell/support a commercial program in a couple of sites and it's great for remote sites. It is menu driven for easy setup and one of it's nicest features is that it rewinds the tape afterward and does a bit-level compare to see that the data on the tape matches that on the hard drive and if it does'nt it emails the client and myself a copy of the failure. This is good because the client sites don't always read the email, or the sites that I print this sometimes someone doens't get the printout delivered to the correct person. But if you are reasonbly competent - as I'd assume most users are this list are - I'd go tar of cpio. I used both at times.
