In the previous summary I neglected to post this alternative solution
sent by Charles Lindahl.  Please accept my sincerest apologies.

I have one solution, which I plan to implement here: 

1) Establish a CAP-based mountable disk. 
2) Use FRONTIER (a Mac scripting system) to do scheduled mounts
   of this filespace (at night) and incrementally copy files to this
   "partition". 
3) Use a UNIX CRON job to copy this filespace to tape. 

It is easiest to use FRONTIER (system 7) to do the "scheduling"; however,
it should be possible to write equivalent C code to do the same thing.
