Hello, I'm developing a perl CGI as a front-end to tar. I'd like to use it as an interface for tape backups on my server, but I've got several questions that I hope someone can answer to: 1) how to give root permissions to my CGI, thus it can read all data it must backup? 2) since I'd like to use tar in multi volume mode (-M), how to catch within the CGI the end of a tape, so to require to the user a new tape and to restart tar on the new tape? 3) how to keep a trace of all data contained in each tape? In other words, how to save the output of tar depending on the tape number? Any suggestions are accepted.
