Great. That's what I'm doing now but I wasn't sure if there was a better
way to do it.

You should be able to use the non rewinding tape device. To restore,
you'd use 'mt' to find the correct file, and dump it.
Google can probably help you more, and if you're serious about backups
there's O'Reilly's "UNIX Backup and Recovery".

I like the script at:
http://www.bluehaze.com.au/unix/cdbkup.html
It's configured to split the archives into CD sized files, but this is easy to change.
It supports incremental backups, gzip/bz2 compression, etc...

I use cpio and this script:

and which do you prefer and
why?
tar is fine for getting a directory and its contents, but for anything
more complex, it's much harder to live wit
on small sized servers, we run every day a script which
- decides files to backup
- creates an archive
- makes an iso image
- burns a cd (or a dvd)
flat files are either taken as a whole (tar -zcvf ...) or depending on
their last update (find -xtime -x ...| cpio ...), databases are
exported/dumped
I used amanda for a year or so to do just what you want. It's not
terribly difficult to setup (the first few tries are frustrating but
eventually a light will come on and all will make sense) The only bad
thing about amanda (and the reason I stopped using it) is that it won't
span a single volume
