Why not mount the drive with something like NFS, SMB or some other system? I am not sure if Novell can do SMB mounts or not. I have done it with FreeBSD in the past. You may also be able to do NFS. Novell can do a lot of things. Then you simply backup the remote mount to tape or whatever backup media you want to use.
