The thread that RTM provided is a useful link to look at.
In brief, proceeding on the assumption you do not have any specific third party backup software, I would recommend using a fbackup in conjunction with a graphfile. This will allow you two split the backup between two tapes.
Create two files that contain the following:
File one:
i /
i /stand
i /tmp
e /var
e /volA
e /volB
e /usr
File two:
i /var
i /volA
i /volB
i /usr
If you have other filesystems that you have not mentioned place the appropriate letter before them in these grapfiles - i = include in the backup, e = exclude in the backup.
Now specify these graphfiles in the fbackup command:
fbackup -f [tape_device] -g /path/to/graphfile
Execute this command twice - once for each graphfile.
