I'm currently backing up my ClarkConnect (RH 7.2 based) firewall with
afio using an OnStream ADR2.60 ide tape drive (30GB native).

A bunch of backup utilities:
http://www.linux.org/apps/all/Administration/Backup.html
http://storage.foundries.sourceforge.net/#Backup
This is the doc that I (along with James Gibson) setup my
hardware/software with. It has alot links to backup references,
compares different programs (tar, cpio, afio, dump, star, taper,
KBackup, BRU), and has the authors scripts to automate the process.

HOWTO.html
Various other Linux backup links:

http://www.jpsdomain.org/linux/linux.html
One bad thing I do is never check the data integrity of my backups.
The only commands I know for afio restores everything to the place they
came from. I haven't figured out how to restore just one file or
redirect the output to a different destination. This is bad practice
on the good-bad scale.
