Hi,
I'd like to set up an auto-backup from cron. I run taper with the
following command line, but it always gives me its help without any error

Hi,
After some testing, I decided to use taper as my backup software.
With the compress method 2 of taper, it can only reach about 6-7 Mb/min (raw
speed) and the tape drive has to stop to wait for data. I try to change some
parameters of the taper (in defaults.h) and it does not seem to help

Last week I upgraded one of our machines from hamm to slink. Today I
discovered that its cron taper backup had been failing due to
"incorrect preference file format"
Is this a random glitch or are the two events related. If so, then
other taper users should be warned!

I can't get taper to finish its run when called from roots crontab.
When I run it from roots command line it works just fine. My crontab

I have managed to install my tape drive ( Seagate travan 3200 on a floppy

Hello,
I've just installed the Taper 6.8.2 backup to tape programme.
I have encountered a curious phenomena namely that I cannot type any
characters in the message boxes, i.e. name of backup etc.

It seems to be a problem this version of taper has when compiled

Hi,
I am getting ready to start backing up my production Debian GNU/Linux

software.
