backup-whatsthis - read an id off a tape and display it
backup-whatsthis [
--list [
n]]
`backup-whatsthis' is a simple script to display the TAPEID of the current tape
and optionally list its contents. This script is a bit of a hack and may not
be fully reliable.
- --list
- [n] Print TAPEID then list archive n (default 0).
Note that archives are numbered from zero.
- /etc/chiark-backup/settings.pl
- Configuration file for the whole of chiark-backup
`backup-whatsthis' is currently hardwired to assume `cpio' type backups when
listing; it could be trivially hardwired to assume `zafio' or with slightly
more effort it could be done properly :->.
