    I am looking for backup software for DDS tapes. Apart from tar, star,
    cpio and their relatives I found taper (taper.sourceforge.net), which
    seems perfect for my needs (single system backup). However this software
    hasn't had an update for over 2 years, and since it uses a non-standard
    (i.e., non-tar, non-cpio) format for its backup, it is uncertain that
    backups will be retrievable in the mid to far future. Suggestions for
    current solutions similar to taper would be welcome.
