Do you have an existing backup system (for example for other stuff
than AFS) and are you allowed to put data into that? In that case,
what kind of system do you have?

We do in effect (hiding all the gory stuff):

... Hilarious script ...
 ... Hilarious script ...
  ... Hilarious script ...
    vos dump VOLUMENAME | tsmpipe /some-prefix/VOLUMENAME.DUMPLEVEL.DATE

which makes "files" in TSM which in effect are volume dumps.
