Hello. What do you suggest I should do if I wanted to mount a lot of windows-shares onto a linux machine and do a single tar backup on all the windows files onto a linux tape drive. There is NO free harddisk space on the linux machine, and it is only possible to store ONE backup session on the tape. I can only use smbtar for one client at a time, as I understand it. Please tell me if I'm wrong on this. It seems to me that all I can do is to use (smb)mount to mount them all, and then do tar. Best wishes Gunnar.

Are there no "non-rewinding" devices?> Gunnar.Brett
