pTape: Tape Drive Manager

#1 Post by mistfire »

This is a simple tape drive utilities using mt-st and tar command as backend. It can backup and restore data using tape backups

NOTE: This program was not yet tested beacause I dont have an actual tape drive. I need some feedback about this program.

UPDATE:
*Better interface
*With Tape detection
*Some bugfixes and improvements on the script is fixed.

Bookmarked. I am very, but very interested. I have a lot of stuff on tapes. I even bought an 'encodeur' MP3 for transfer on my computer. Perhaps that is not the subject. Il will come back to translate the topic, in a quiet period, it's worth of it. (we need time to well understand what is described in English, and Linux)
