Hi,

I need some help setting up a tape backup system.  I have two FreeBSD machines
and on external SCSI Onstream ADR50.  Got any clues how I can start a weekly
back up plan here? 

Thanks in advance,

Noah

The key would be, a tape a day? Just kidding. If you ca fit it all on 
one tape, and it's not a long backup - why not do a full backup apposed 
to some sort of incremental one.

A cron once a day should do the trick (man cron and man crontab) and I 
would think using dump (man dump) would also do the archiving.
