Marty, Sounds like a great plan. I got the Debian 'mt-st' package, replacing the GNU mt that comes with the cpio package. I checked out the example definition file, and I have a question not answered in the man page. Must I define all modes even if I only ever want to use one? I plan to always use blocksize=0 and compression=0, so should I just define 'mode1'? Thanks, Eric
