Thanks Darrick, but I currently don't use tapes for backups. Perhaps someone subscribed to this list might be interested in using your script if you are willing to post it.
I use flexbackup for HD-HD backups. It has worked fairly well for me so far. One time, I swear that it was not backing up all my files and was burned. I now run a compare for every backup. I'm a perl programmer and just thought I'd lend a quick hand to Jim.
