Which scripts you need, Database backup scripts or Ignite or Netbackup, Omni backup scripts?

There's a lot of information needed: are you backing up 2Gb of data or 2Tb? What kind of tape drive (capacity)? Is this a 24x7 operation? Can the backup complete without any interaction (ie, changing tapes)? If this is a network backup, are you using standard tools or a commercial backup program? Remember that files larger than 2Gb will not work with classic Unix tools like cpio.

Hi,
If this is a temporary need perhaps the most easy is to use tar . If your don't have a local backup device you have to NFS-mount the filesystem. If you want to do regular (and scheduled) backups fbackup is a better alternative. With fbackup you also can use remote devices.
