-
- I have one solution, which I plan to implement here:
-
- 1) Establish a CAP-based mountable disk.
- 2) Use FRONTIER (a Mac scripting system) to do scheduled mounts
- of this filespace (at night) and incrementally copy files to this
- "partition".
- 3) Use a UNIX CRON job to copy this filespace to tape.
-
- It is easiest to use FRONTIER (system 7) to do the "scheduling"; however,
- it should be possible to write equivalent C code to do the same thing.
