So use the 7980 to create SLT tapes you can use for disaster recovery and
back up to something bigger and faster over the LAN with STORE or BackPack
or somesuch.  Or use Store-To-Disc and FTP the backups to a file server or
something.

OTOH, you could replace the 925 with something that shows up on a graph of
system performance.  (Note:  That does *not* include the 920 which is IIRC
the only PA-RISC system ever sold[1] that's slower than a 925.  But then
you knew that.  :)

[1]  I don't count the 930 since HP didn't let folks keep them.  Besides,
the 930 didn't even have a PA-RISC microprocessor in it, so it doesn't
count. :)
