<h2><font face="Verdana" color="#0000FF">Welcome to the taper homepage.</font></h2>
<p> </p>
<p><font face="Verdana" color="#0000FF">Taper is an easy to use backup solution
for Linux.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana" color="#0000FF">It allows backups to tape drives,
filesystems, floppy drives, removable devices... In fact, any device that Linux
supports.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana" color="#0000FF">Incremental backup & selective restores
are available, as well as backup verifies.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana" color="#0000FF">Archive catalogues are kept on the
hard-drive to enable speedy selective restores and incremental backups. In the
event of total hard disk failures, these catalogues can be reconstructed from
the archive. Catalogues are not required for a full restore.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana" color="#0000FF">Taper is ncurses based which means that
it can be used in a console window or in an X-Term (or equivalent) under X.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana" color="#0000FF"><b>The current stable version does not
support archives greater than 4gb (ie. it is 32 bit). </b>Although the backups <i>
may </i>appear to work, it will not restore because of overflow errors.</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana" color="#0000FF">The Alpha version can be used, however,
this is still under development and archive formats are likely to change between
versions.</font></p>
