Please forgive a Linux newbie's ignorance on this one. Tar can do backups to a Travan tape? I'm really impressed. What do I need to do to set it up?
Thanks much. ---Michael
I back up my home directory on to Travan tape with this little script mt -f /dev/tape erase tar cvfz /dev/tape /home/kmp er.. that's it. /dev/tape is a symbolic link to /dev/st0 on my system. I'm using SusE 8.1 Best wishes - Ken
