I would appreciate very much if perhaps someone on this list could

where to find that sort of programs.
Thanks in advance

i can' really comment on quality or even whether it will work with a
tape drive. i would assume that
would be a system issue. if you can mount it it should work just fine.
in any case i have been meaning
to try out rdfiff-backup. you can find it at
http://rdiff-backup.stanford.edu/.
it looks very promising to me, but again i haven't tried it, but it's
probably worth taking a look at and maybe
even posting the same question to its mailing list.
Fedora comes with Amanda. I use it to back up to an ancient DAT
drive and I've used it on DLT drives. "man amanda" will give you
the details (assuming you installed the amanda RPMs).
