        Hello,

    My origional question was bascially has anyone ever written a script
to load and unload a tape library. Thanx to the following people who
responded.

        James Hutchinson lsharp@taz.hutch.org
        Ju-Lien Lim julienlim@rocketmail.com
        Mr.Venkat D venki21@hotmail.com
        David Thorburn-Gundlach david@bae.uga.edu
        Stephen Harris sweh@mpn.com
        Brent Parish bparish@pfn.com
        emarch@pinole1.com (D. Ellen March)

    Some of you had questions which I'll also answer.

    Having worked with Lagato Networker I would love to have it running
here. However, right now it's a little too pricy (About $30,000). My
company can't afford it at this time.

   Most suggested that I see if the library had a sequential mode.
While others suggested that I check with either the manufacture of the
tape library and/or maker of the backup software.

    The tape library does have a sequental mode and the backup software
has a sample script for loading and unloading a library.

    Happily writting a script to backup my servers.

    Again, thanks.
