    If you’re going for WORM or similar strategy, and you just want to dump archival backups to tape, you can probably just use dd or even tar (originates frome Tape ARchive), possibly with cron.

      i would just use tar and write a script 1990s style, but encryption support + multi-volume (tapes are LTO-2, so only 200GB uncompressed) won’t work with that

        Ah. Yeah. That makes sense. Still probably doable with scripts, depending on the encryption requirements but probably not optimal.
