NAME

tape − shell script to back up portions of "user_data"

DESCRIPTION

To simplify backing up the user’s data files,  this script will take arguments consisting of an optional tape file ( see the Unix manual entry for mt (1) ), a project name, and a subdirectory within the project. 

USAGE

tape [-tape_file_number] [project_name [subdirectory]]
For example, if you want to back up the "samples" project, you would type tape samples.  If you only wanted to back up the animation subdirectory, and you didn’t want to overwrite your previous backup, you would put the same tape in the drive and type tape -1 samples anim
