Its sorta like when you go to your kar mechanic. The job is not complete till you put all of your tools away, and cleaned your work area for the next job. That would be the mechanics responsibility, and not the cleaning staff that follows in the evening.
But at this moment, some 18hours after amanda started, it is still going, and only on the third ( of an estimated 6 tape backup ). So the unload/eject is the least of my current concerns with regard to getting a backup to happen. Right now the most efficient system i have would be to run tar cMf remoteHost:/dev/st0 / directly on the remote system. after each EOT i will run a shell script to change to the next tape. AFTER I DO THIS CORRECTLY, only then will I get a TRUE feel of the time needed to do this phase of the task. /gat "John R.
