Thank you very much for your answer.
If I do like this :
"
tar -cvf /dev/st0 /home
"
, does tar overwrite on the tape automatically or just
does appending on the tape cartridge ?
Thanks my friend.

I used "taper" for unattended back up on a tape cartridge. But I found that this software does not work sometimes.
My server does backup on 20 o'clock every day. with taper and triggered by the crond.
Now I want to use KDat. It works nicely. But I don't know how to use this software to do unattended and automatic backup every 20 o'clock. Can KDat do unattended backup?
Anybody can suggest me a backup software belong to open software?
Thank you very much.
A simple tar command in a script in cron can do this.
tar cvf /dev/st0 /files for example. You will need to change where your tape drive in located and what you want to backup.
