Archiving seldom used files

I'm looking for a package, either commercial or public domain, which will
manage infrequently accessed user files.  Ideally, this package would meet the
following criteria:

   o Run under UNIX 4.3 BSD,

   o Scan the user file systems & move infrequently used files (e.g.
     files which have not been accessed in the past year) to tape,

   o Let users generate requests to archive any files they own,

   o Maintain an online index of archived file names so users can
     generate retrieval requests,

   o Provide a nice interface to retrieve files from the archive tapes.

If you know of such a package, I would appreciate a note.  Or, if you have
other ways of managing tight disk resources, I'd like to hear about them.
