I found an excellent wee backup prog for linux called sitback. it does it to
tape, cd drives and network shares. Set up the simple ini aand let it rip. no
troubles so far. It obsoleted a lot of my scripts that I had been using for a
while, gives nice feed back results and was so simple even I got it right first
time.
What is even better is it is of course, open sourced.
to back up dirs you just add a line similar to
SOURCE=/Mydir/mysubdir1
SOURCE=/Mydir/mysubdir2
SOURCE=/Mydir2/
....
and it does the rest. i think it might be worth a look for those of you doing
tar tape backups.
