Topic: Real time tape backups

[Mark Farey]

I'd like to see a menu item added to e-smith manager that allows immediate tape backups. It's tedious having to set a backup time that's in the future on the server, but soon enough to not require a long wait. A simple "Backup to tape now" selection would do the trick.

I think this would be useful for both testing tape backups and for situations where a backup is urgently needed, for whatever reason.

Regards to all,
