I'm doing this now and should end up with about ~2T of RAID5 when everything is put back together. I intended to create a bunch of volumes that are either 5GB or 10GB in size, do the backups to disk, then tar anything that has changed since yesterday to tape for sending off site. (something like: tar -cvf /dev/st0 `find . -newer last-backup-flag -print`) I find your question very time appropriate and am also interested in any answers that arrive.
