This may be off subject for this list. I'm only replying here because I've lost track of everyone on this thread but I think they were all here originally. Unfortunately I don't have them nicely packaged so they can be used generically. I would be willing to do that if there was a need for it but I think there are plenty of good GPL archive/backup software packages. The only useful thing I think I have is a command line library interface which manages, names, tracks, loads and unloads tapes from a tape or CD/DVD library using a low level driver like mtx. It has a simple text interface and supports device locking and time stamps on library operations. It's what I use in all my archive/backup scripts to interface with media libraries. Unfortunately it also uses an SQL database but I could make a standalone version if it would be useful to people. I put what I have on my anonymous ftp server: ftp.cfht.hawaii.edu:/pub/daprog/kanoa/libh.tgz I doubt it is useful to anyone in the state it is in though it might have some ideas that are useful and it could adapted to another installation.
