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. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"
