tape monkey n.

A junior system administrator, one who might plausibly be

assigned to do physical swapping of tapes and subsequent storage.

When a backup needs to be restored, one might holler "Tape

monkey!" (Compare one-banana

problem) Also used to dismiss jobs not worthy of a highly

trained sysadmin's ineffable talents: "Cable up her PC? You must

be joking - I'm no tape monkey."
