The Maize grows....
Yes, they want an e-mail to go out every time a step is done.
Everything except the files list (which goes to /$BASE/$DAY/$DATE.idx) goes to $INFO (== /$BASE/$DAY/$DATE.info) I then cat this and pipe it to /usr/bin/mail and send with subject to recipients.
The exports are "/exports/Monday, /exports/Tuesday, /exports/Wednesday, /exports/Thursday, /exports/Friday, /exports/Saturday, /exports/Sunday, /exports/Misc"
Each is a dedicated 200GB setup. I create store and test the .tgz according to the Day of the Week. Right now the backup of 22GB of data (results in ~4.3GB TGZ)... works just fine... and they get to take a tape home every night. Each tape has been verified and tested.
