I am looking for backup software for DDS tapes. Apart from tar, star, cpio and their relatives I found taper (taper.sourceforge.net), which seems perfect for my needs (single system backup). However this software hasn't had an update for over 2 years, and since it uses a non-standard (i.e., non-tar, non-cpio) format for its backup, it is uncertain that backups will be retrievable in the mid to far future. Suggestions for current solutions similar to taper would be welcome. -- Gérard Milmeister Langackerstrasse 49 CH-8057 Zürich
