[Sussex] Back up software.

[Steve Williams]

Personally I find taper very useful, but so far I have only used it on 
the host machine which does not have X/KDE installed.  You would have to 
ask one of the LUG Gurus as to how to access the target drives - through 
Samba I would guesss.

Seems to work fine with my HP SCSI Travan Drive.  Start with  #> taper -s
That's it.
