I"m not sure, but if I remember correctly, taper is the software that ships with redhat and a few other systems. It's alot like an older dos based backup program (not fancy) but if I remember correctly, it's fairly reliable. I used to do a few backups on an old linux system of mine with a 120 tape drive, and taper was a decent program then. That's about the best I can give you as i've not used the program for nie onto 2 to 3 years now.

I want something reliable, flexible, and easy to use (menu-driven, etc,...). Currently, I'm looking at KBackup Taper PerfectBackup BRU 2000 I have a philosophical preference for free/shareware programs in general, so I'm leaning to one of the first three. I'd be really grateful, though, if anyone on the list had experience with one or more of the above. Reliability is the main issue in the end, so if needed I'd hand over the $80 to LinuxMall for BRU, but I'm curious about the alternatives.
