there's a program called "taper" that comes with Mandrake
(at least I think it does;it's definitely on the RH5.2 CD).
As you might guess, it's a tape backup program. I think
there's aother program called BRU2000. but I think it's a
commercial program. It does come in some Liux distributions,
though.
