DLT / LTO autoloader and shell scripts
Hi,
I didn't get any answer form my previous question so I probably asked the wrong question :-( Anyway I need advise on using a tape autoloader with tar / cpio. How do I backup to an autoloader using standard gnu utils? ********************* Khalid Schofield System Administrator / EM Technician Dept.

If you really want to use your own scripts I believe you'd need to use
low level scsi commands to control the robot and drives. These will be vendor specific by autoloader and drives. I believe there are some free backup software apps that will do this and even use tar format to tape. No reason to use homegrown too much anymore. ~F On Tue, 18 Nov 2003 18:06:57 +0000, Khalid Schofield wrote: Hi, I didn't get any answer form my previous question so I probably asked the wrong question :-( Anyway I need advise on using a tape autoloader with tar / cpio.
