If you have a tape backup do a full backup, once system has been formatted do a restore from your tape backup. Before you format the system and once the backup has completed first do a test restore on random files to make sure that the backup was successful.

Hope this helps

You also may want to perform a rdisk \s so that permissions and users are backed up so that once you have reinstalled the OS and performed a restore you can also restore user permissions.
