All releases of Tapeback
Release Notes: The tape spanning code was fixed so that it actually works again. A bug in taperestore that caused the K per Second display to be wildly wrong on the second and subsequent tapes was fixed. A case where you would be at end of tape yet the device End_Of_Tape indicator would not come on was fixed.
Release Notes: A major problem in the tape reading and writing routines was fixed, so they now actually work. taperestore was cleaned up, and it now looks similar to tapeback. A tape drive identification utility was added.
Release Notes: The ability to create filesets was added. A fileset is a reusable list of specific directories and files to backup. The progress bar was fixed so that it's actually accurate. A speed indicator was added to the backup display. Incremental and differential backups now work with filesets. Other minor bugfixes were made.
Release Notes: Incremental and differential backup options were added. The user can now select to overwrite a tape, but the default is always to append to tape. The user can now specify the name of a backup. Common functions were split into a shared library. Restore now seeks out the correct dataset if a second tape is used.
Release Notes: This release adds a mktape utility for preparing tapes for use, progress bars to tapeback and taperestore (ANSI is your friend), and minor cleanups to end-of-tape detection.
Release Notes: Taperestore now correctly restores backups that span tapes. It also now allows you to select which backup on the current tape you wish to restore. Tapels is not so verbose now, listing only the backup sets on the current tape instead of every file in every backup set on the current tape. Tapeback now continues where it left off when it hits the end of the tape and the tape is changed (the old behavior was to restart the current file from its beginning).
