I've had nice luck using Bacula in the past. There is a learning curve to it, but once you're past the hills it's very nice. It sounds that you're wanting to backup data from a USB drive to the LTO tapes? Do the USB drives get changed out? If so, you might be just as simply to us tar directory

To the stock brokerage losing $100 million, I would argue that (without knowing anything else) someone in management needs to be fired. If you have a system in place where a single command can cost you 100,000,000 dollars, management should install some protections around that. Now, if the admin

Just a note, when using -G you replace the existing groups with what you listed. To append the new group to the existing list of groups also include -a. Being able to quickly replace the entire list of groups is pretty useful. Almost as useful as being able to replace an entire list of allowed V
