BACKUP-WHATSTHIS(1)						   Chiark-backup					       BACKUP-WHATSTHIS(1)

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 :->.
