tape monkey

from Jargon File (4.4.4, 14 Aug 2003)
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."
