Jim,

1 - we need to know what card slots and in what unit. This is important
to tie it into a bus. If the slot holding the 2749 is not on the same bus
as the 2844 then a no go.
2 - I recommend that, if you have the slots available, you put a new 2844
and the 2749 card on a different bus. Backing up to a tape drive on the
same bus as your disk drives will be abysmal performance.
