The cheapest and easiest way would be to buy another tape drive for the
FreeBSD system. Seriously.
Novell sells a TCP/IP interconnect system for NetWare servers; it may
(or may not) support the UNIX/TCP/IP rmt (remote mag tape) protocol for
tape drives attached to the NetWare server. If it does, you could use
tar, cpio, or dump to backup the UNIX system to the tape drive on the
server.
