This makes no sense, the duplication of effort is backing
up bind. If you are worried about having the latest patched
version of bind on the system mirror the updates site.
You could still install the version on the install media then
run pkgtool(I think thats slackware tool) and upgrade to the
latest faster than reading everything from tape.
If the duplication you are refering to is the having to upgrade
the patched pakages big deal, It's faster.
named.conf is a config file so back it up.
The zone files would be a backuped up.
install, upgrade, reload of few meg of configs from tape, et 1 hour
stand around and swap out 100M Zip disks to restore system, et all day.
If you have a 100 tape LTO library, sure back it all up. But remember
were talking someone using a 100M zip disk.
