I just acquired a couple tape drives (4GB Travan SCSI that I have two
tapes for and a 10GB Travan IDE that I have too many tapes for to count,
these are the uncompressed capacities, but anyway...) but I note a lack
of completeness in GNU tar's backup scripts, so I was looking for any
reccomendations anyone have on getting a nice semi-automated backup
system set up (grandfather, father, child maybe, I definately have
enough tapes...) that would be able to just have me stick the tape in
the drive and run a command (I can set some of this up obviously, but
I'm not really a "backup theory" guy).
So, any suggestions? I'd like to stick with tar if possible as it
produces semi-standard archives (yes, I know GNU incremental tars aren't
standard, but anyway), though I'm open to other progs like cpio if
anyone's had a really great experience with them.
