[comp.unix.questions] 3b2 XM Tape Drive Head Release:

root@usm3b2.EDU (Admin) (09/15/88)

	I prefer to perform my system backups on Friday afternoon or
Saturday morning.  Is there any way that I can start the backup and 
go home knowing that the tape drive head will release its pressure
from the tape after the backup has completed.  If I had an shell script
for this I would not have to wait around for the last tape to be 
written to.
