PROGRAM:
NAME
ddstool - simple shell script to manage dds tapes
SYNOPSIS
ddstool <command> <options>
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the ddstool command. This manual page was written for
the Debian GNU/Linux distribution (but may be used by others), because the original
program does not have a manual page.
Since the version of tar now shipping in Debian does not contain the patch necessary to
support the --record-file option, this program will do nothing useful unless you're
running a locally patched version of tar.
First label a tape:
ddstool create-label 'unique-string and more'
To archive something:
ddstool append pathnames...
To delete the old index-files and make a new label:
ddstool new-label 'unique-string and more strings'
Each index is stored by the pathnames:
$A/$unique-string.$file-number (soft link)
$A/$timestamp-of-the-tapelabel.$file-number (file)
Use ddstool online using onworks.net services
