NAME

       backup-whatsthis - read an id off a tape and display it

SYNOPSIS

       backup-whatsthis [--list [n]]

DESCRIPTION

       `backup-whatsthis'  is  a simple script to display the TAPEID of the current tape and optionally list its
       contents.  This script is a bit of a hack and may not be fully reliable.

OPTIONS

       --list [n] Print TAPEID then list archive n (default 0). Note that archives are numbered from zero.

FILES

       /etc/chiark-backup/settings.pl
              Configuration file for the whole of chiark-backup

BUGS

       `backup-whatsthis' is currently hardwired to assume  `cpio'  type  backups  when  listing;  it  could  be
       trivially hardwired to assume `zafio' or with slightly more effort it could be done properly :->.
