A program called DriveCopy from Powerquest copies all partitions on the
primary slave (hdb) to the primary master (hda). However, it requires a DOS
boot disk, and wont expand your partitions. Depending on how your partitions
are mounted, you'll have to figure out a workaround, so using your tape
drive MAY be easier.
Hope this helps,
