you are most welcome. i hope you can get some mileage from scripts.
cpio works very well for tape archive. i started using cpio w/ basic scripts
in mid 70's for backing up 10 and 20 meg hdd's and has yet to fail.
'testscript' is best done to insure you are getting what you want from 'find'.
with find and grep, cpio even does a fine batch/conditional file transfer.
peace out.
