We are in the process of doing this, but haven't released it into production
yet. We've written an Expect script to have starting the backup and butc
processes. Each of our fileservers will have an EXB-10e on them and they each
will do their own backups and print their own labels. We anticipate having an
operator go down once a week to stick the labels on the tapes and reloading the
tape stackers. I've mentioned that I will post the Expect script to the contrib
area of afs when it is fully implemented. If anyone wants an advanced copy of
it, send me mail (keep in mind we are still making minor changes to it).
There are some tricky issues here like being able to run klog on a fileserver
and gaining tokens for the backup so it can be run out of bos cron. We have
special programs that do these. It would be nice if these tools were part of
the afs release.
