+# This script will backup local drives to a remote tape drive over ssh.
+#  written by David B. Peterson <dave@toppledwagon.com>
+#
+# Follow these steps before using it the first time:
+# 1.  Configure the env variables below, especially OPERATOR, TAPEHOST
+#      TAPEDEV, and FILESYSTEMS
+# 2.  run the following commands as root (on the machine to be backed up):
+# ssh-keygen -t dsa
+# cat ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub | ssh OPERATOR@TAPEHOST 'cat - >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys2'
+#
+# where OPERATOR and TAPEHOST are as you have defined below.
+
+# We will run under screen so you can come back to the backup, if you need to.
+if [ ! "$WINDOW" ]; then
+   exec screen $0

+fi

+# ssh-agent allows us to backup securely without entering the passphrase so
+# many times.  This version uses openssh v2.9
