I got a external Ultrium4 SAS-drive connected to a SAS-PCIe-card. Under Win10 and Ubuntu I can access the drive, rewind and eject the tape.
So, what would be a good solution to backup specific directories to the tape? Is there something with a GUI that keeps a database of the stored files on a per tape base? Since it is for my local photo-archive I don't have the money for business-software...
