I was looking more for a complete backup kind of thing. A script that
would just be run every night and would pick the appropriate level of
backup based on the day in my rotation.
Is that what this is, or could this be easily modified to do such a
thing (most of what I'm looking for is the multiple levels of
incrementivitivy [is that a word?] implemented, I can code the day
checking myself)? If so, I'd like very much to see it so I could use it :)

reccomendations anyone have on getting a nice semi-automated backup
system set up (grandfather, father, child maybe, I definately have
enough tapes...) that would be able to just have me stick the tape in
the drive and run a command (I can set some of this up obviously, but
I'm not really a "backup theory" guy).
So, any suggestions? I'd like to stick with tar if possible as it
produces semi-standard archives (yes, I know GNU incremental tars aren't
standard, but anyway), though I'm open to other progs like cpio if
anyone's had a really great experience with them.

I have a backup script that I run when I have important stuff that I need to
save. It uses tar, and so far it works OK. I'm to the point that I need to
"split" the file system when I do backups because my system won't all fit on
one tape anymore (I use DDS II), but other than that it works fine and has
been successfully run from a crontab in the past. If you'd like it, I'll
send it to you so you can adapt it to your needs.
