"LONE-TAR is a must, as far as I am concerned. It offers verification of the backup, which is not something available with the old method. Each morning, I can check e-mail from the server and see that I got a backup and that it was verified! Having had to depend on backup tapes before to restore data, and having one that failed, I really like the verification process.

Also, I am able to expand the files that are backed up each night. Besides my data, I can pick any other directories, such as my /users, that I feel would be beneficial to have on tape each day. I have also used LONE-TAR to restore a file. It is very easy to do and you do not need any long strings of UNIX commands to accomplish it. Lastly, it is very inexpensive for the value received." -- John Sardeson, Big C Lumber
