- hi kamlesh,
-
- i'll leave the cron stuff up to you but the command line argument
- to create an archive is tbtape -s which you can incorporate in
- a cron job. however, you will be prompted for the level of
- the archive and additional tapes to be mounted, if necessary.
-
- hope this helps,
-
- regards,
