"usefulness" of an app is highly dependent on the reader??
	- think some coders look for one or two lines of
	"how did they do that" and merge that process/proceedure
	into their code

- think having a tcl based backup gui is useful

- my backup gui is html-based ( Backup.www.pl )
	- w/ search capability so that users can do their own
	searching in backups for the missing files they want restored

- collection of backup scripts ( backup to any media )

Ah, pardon me.

This may be off subject for this list. I'm only replying here because 
I've lost track of everyone on this thread but I think they were all 
here originally.

Unfortunately I don't have them nicely packaged so they can be used 
generically. I would be willing to do that if there was a need for it 
but I think there are plenty of good GPL archive/backup software 
packages. The only useful thing I think I have is a command line library 
interface which manages, names, tracks, loads and unloads tapes from a 
tape or CD/DVD library using a low level driver like mtx. It has a 
simple text interface and supports device locking and time stamps on 
library operations. It's what I use in all my archive/backup scripts to 
interface with media libraries.

Unfortunately it also uses an SQL database but I could make a standalone 
version if it would be useful to people.

I put what I have on my anonymous ftp server:

  ftp.cfht.hawaii.edu:/pub/daprog/kanoa/libh.tgz

I doubt it is useful to anyone in the state it is in though it might 
have some ideas that are useful and it could adapted to another 
installation.

mtx is hosted on sourceforge http://sourceforge.net/projects/mtx
but i believe Alvin was referring to your tcl scripts
