backupIT is a script to backup local and remote filesystems onto a remote tape
drive. It includes a collection of functions to send mail, to use system
commands to drive a tape library, and to use NetBackup(tm) to drive a tape
library. backupIT uses rsh/ssh to connect to remote hosts, and it supports ufs,
vxfs, and ext2 file systems. It works on Solaris, Slackware Linux, and Red Hat
Linux systems. backupIT requires the dump utility, which might not be installed
on Linux systems.
