Oh there is some information on that topic in the Admin Guide. But it
is well hidden.

This is, how it works for me.
[root@afs1 backup]# pwd
/usr/afs/backup
[root@afs1 backup]# ls
CFG_backupfile tapeconfig TE_backupfile TL_backupfile
[root@afs1 backup]# cat CFG_backupfile
FILE YES
MOUNT /usr/afs/bin/filemount.sh
[root@afs1 backup]# cat tapeconfig
50G 0 /dev/backupfile 1
[root@afs1 backup]# cat ../bin/filemount.sh
#! /bin/csh -f
set devicefile = $1
set operation = $2
set tries = $3
set tapename = $4
set tapeid = $5
set exit_continue = 0
set exit_abort = 1
set exit_interactive = 2
#--------------------------------------------
if (${tries} > 1) then
echo "Too many tries"
exit ${exit_interactive}
endif
if (${operation} == "labeltape") then
echo "Won't label a tape/file"
exit ${exit_abort}
endif
if ((${operation} == "dump") |\
(${operation} == "appenddump") |\
(${operation} == "restore") |\
(${operation} == "savedb") |\
(${operation} == "restoredb")) then
/bin/rm -f ${devicefile}
/bin/ln -s /vicepa/AFSBackup/${tapename}_${tapeid} ${devicefile}
if (${status} != 0) exit
${exit_abort}
endif
exit ${exit_continue}
I have two additional scripts. One expiring dump-infos from the backup-db
and the other to delete outdated dump-files.
Send me a mail, if you want to see them.

Yes, you do.
