Question for the HPUX guys

Hey gang, I recently changed companies and went from a NT environment to a UNIX shop. While I have decent skills in UNIX, some additional experience certainly wouldn't hurt. So... In order to reinforce my professional standing by learning more UNIX, and to entertain my collecting hobby by doing it on an older system, I drug out one of my old HP 9000/832s and fired it up. The system is curently running HPUX 8.0 Before I screw up anything (which is inevitable), I really need to make a recovery tape. Question: How can I make a COMPLETE backup of the system? Ideally, I'd like to make a bootable tape using my 9-track and then copy EVERYTHING on to additional tapes. The system does have a built-in DAT drive but the 9-track is soooo much more dependable. I've got plenty of hardware so, another possibility would be to create a second bootable disk(s) and copy the files from set of disks to the other. Once again, I'm not entirely sure how to do that. I do have the 10.20 distribution CDs so, even in the event of a serious crash, I could install a new OS. However, I would loose all the other applications that are currently installed. Also... I'm having trouble creating a kernel with networking installed. After being around for a few years, the config files are probably hosed and I don't have enough C programming skills to fix them. So... Does anyone have a copy of the original install media for HPUX 8.0 they'd be willing to part with?
