Hi,
I am looking for a set of scripts that would let me to fully
utilise the features offered by the DLT TL891/TL892 tape mini
library.
I would imagine that it would use the robot(1) utility delivered with the
library to manipulate the jukebox.
Ideally the scripts would:
- select the tapes for tonights backup by looking up a prepared
file of a certain format.
Select means here - select by bar code on the tape label.
- check if correct tapes for a this backup are in the magazine.
- load them into tape unit(s).
- call backup scripts that do the actual backup.
- handle errors.
- keep logs, do notifications and such.
- handle signals gracefully.
- be well documented so they can be easily understood and
modified maintained as needed.
I am sure that somebody who spent all this time writing and debugging
such a set of scripts will be willing to share the fruits of their labor.
Your contributions, pointers, ideas, etc. are welcome.
Regards,
Chris
