Hi! I'm looking into scheduling a cron job to back up my network to an Exabyte 4gig DAT tape drive, and am wondering what the best method for handling this is. I've surfed the WWW for a while and have come across a few utilities that seem to fit my needs but was wondering what are some of your opinions of the various utils.

I found one called BRU that offers an X11 interface. That one seems to be the most appealing so far.

TIA

Mike
