UPS options other than Powertrust for D380
We have a D380 server running 10.20 for disaster recovery in the event we ever needed it. Hardly robust, dual processor, 4 4.3gb HDD, DDS3 tape drive, CD-ROM and external DLT4000 tape drive. Are there any 3rd-party UPS options that anyone could recommend that would provide for graceful shutdown? I've seen APC PowerChute for HP-UX in many weblinks, but have yet to find anyone that actually has the product in stock.
Any help would be appreciated.

5. What is on Your Mind?
This thread reminded me of a couple of screwups made by an operator in my old job. The ops used to run OS backups through a script which asked for the path to the tape (/dev/rmt/whatnot). We (the sysadmins) would give these to the ops if a new server was added or the h/w path changed. One Sunday... (4 Replies)

NAME
tcopy - copy a magnetic tape
SYNOPSIS
tcopy source [destination]
DESCRIPTION
The tcopy utility copies the magnetic tape mounted on the tape drive specified by the source argument. The only assumption made about the
contents of a tape is that there are two tape marks at the end.
When only a source drive is specified, tcopy scans the tape, and displays information about the sizes of records and tape files. If a des-
tination is specified, tcopy makes a copies the source tape onto the destination tape, with blocking preserved. As it copies, tcopy pro-
duces the same output as it does when only scanning a tape.
The tcopy utility requires the use of Berkeley-compatible device names. For example,
example% tcopy /dev/rmt/1b /dev/rmt/2b
