Begin3 Title: shak Version: 2.0b Entered-date: 03AUG96 Description: Shak is client backup executive and tape file manager. (A shell program system which runs a user-supplied backup program). Shak places the backup program behind an interface of defined environment variables which shak sets according to its index files it keeps for every tape cartridge. This allows a single backup program to be multi-host and multi-type. Shak does not impose the form of the user backup although includes a POSIX client example. Shak is fully network transparent and implements cooperative (lock file) locking; and, error monitoring with mail notification.
