Most tape streamer documentation include instructions for Novell networks.
You generally have to install the streamer on one of the workstations of the
LAN and log as SUPERVISOR. I have personnally used a MOUNTAIN tape streamer
and it came with the software and documentation needed to backup a Novell
network. It was rather simple to use. You can backup the server while the 
network is up and running. Any file that cannot be locked during the process
(because it is used by a client workstation) is listed in a special file and 
you can ask the software to try again saving these files later on.

Hope this helps,
