Thanks to all who replied. Most of you advised me to use ufsdump, because this is the safest option. Tar can be used for backing up some files like /export/home. Tar has a disadvantage that it doensn't backup special files.

On each server there is LTOgen1 tape drive installed. Each of the 3 servers has about 250 mb diskspace used and contains a lot of Oracle databases. I'm in doubt which tool (tar/ufsdump/cpio) I should use for backup the 3 servers and restore all the tapes on the other server? Anyone suggestions? Thanks in advance.
