man backup-loaded (Commandes) - tell the chiark-backup system what to do with a new tape

NAME

backup-loaded - tell the chiark-backup system what to do with a new tape

SYNOPSIS

backup-loaded [TAPEID]

DESCRIPTION

backup-loaded: this tells the scripts that a currently unlabelled tape should be treated as tape X: eg:

backup-loaded b3

will cause it to treat it as tape `b3'. NB: this won't override the TAPEID label written on the tape; it's just for use with previously unused tapes. This applies only to the next time the backup scripts are invoked. You can say just

backup-loaded

to go back to the default behaviour, which is to fail if the tape has no TAPEID.

OPTIONS

TAPEID
Treat the tape as label TAPEID

FILES

/etc/chiark-backup/settings.pl
Configuration file for the whole of chiark-backup
