I have created a backup and restore script. They are attached to this email. Those scripts work fine, but I am not sure how to determine how much of the tape was used during the last write. Since I am using "dd" to write to the tape device it will tell how much was written, but I am wondering if there is more I can do. Are there any good doc sites out there for using tape drives? I have read over the FreeBSD docs and do not see anything about getting the info I want.
