Auto backup script

Well folks, here is a little script that you may find useful should you be
one of the lucky few who have a tape drive for your Unix-PC. This script
was modeled after Tbackup.sh except it doesn't do any prompting. It sends
mail about what happened and how much was backed up. It won't do a backup if
it requires more than one tape. I run this from my crontab every night and
it makes life much easier. It also saved my rear end when my HD croaked!!
Enjoy!!
