When doing a backup to a tape driver using Tar, only root has those privileges.
So to do the backup, one must be logged in as root. BUT Everybody in the know, says that you must never be logged in as root longer than is necessary. So how does one do a Crontab to do a regular tape backup, but not be logged in as root ? As an example, if you want to do a backup at say 3 in the morning. you have to leave your machine logged in as root overnight. Many thanks everybody Mr Smiley :o)
