My origional question was bascially has anyone ever written a script
to load and unload a tape library. Thanx to the following people who
responded.

Some of you had questions which I'll also answer.
Having worked with Lagato Networker I would love to have it running
here. However, right now it's a little too pricy (About $30,000). My
company can't afford it at this time.
Most suggested that I see if the library had a sequential mode.
While others suggested that I check with either the manufacture of the
tape library and/or maker of the backup software.
The tape library does have a sequental mode and the backup software
has a sample script for loading and unloading a library.
Happily writting a script to backup my servers.
Again, thanks.
