backup info

Im looking for info on backing up a linux server with a tape drive, what is the best, easy an one that can be automated way to go about this. I have a sony sdt9000 in the machine for backups. I installed taper but not had time to look at the man page. be nice if you could print out the man page for taper. is there a howto for taper somewhere also or a pdf type file. thanks. Anyone using the backup software that came on the 7.2 disks. jack malone Network Administrator EAST TEXAS LIGHTHOUSE FOR THE BLIND dba HORIZON INDUSTRIES 903-595-3444 http://www.horizonind.com
