Scripting: A parallel Linux backup script

While the script presented writes to four tape drives in parallel, it can easily be modified to write to other device types and to create a different number of backup streams.

The script is set up for the bash shell under Linux, but modifying it for another variety of Unix should simply be a matter of changing the locations of utility files such as tar, echo, cp, and sleep.
