You can use DATman.  It is part of IRIX 4.0.5F available for your
Indigo.  Using DATman you can record to DAT from either a disc file
or direct from the Indigo audio inputs.  DATman does not protect you
from yourself.  It works just like a taperecorder and does not
prevent you recording over existing information (unless of course the
whole tape is write-protected).
