bring up tape drive

[Phillip Qin]

What I am currently doing is "tar-zip-tape" daily. But he made a good point.
I agree backing up from remote is better. At least I don't have to reboot my
linux box should tape drive fails.

In replying your previous email, unfortunately, I hot-unplugged the SCSI
tape drive. It caused Debian CPU dump. I fixed the tape drive and had to
reboot the server.

I guess as long as you don't need to save the permissions or ownership
or anything else, that could work.  Otherwise generating tar files and
copying those over might be better.
