Eject Tapes After Backup
This procedure will reconfigure the standard SME Server backup function (Flexbackup) to eject tapes after a successful backup as many people find that more convenient. Also, by ejecting the tape, you won't get extra, unneeded backups on weekends (saving wear and tear on your tapes and drive), Nor will the previous day's backup get overwritten.

Older Versions of SME Server
Create the 'templates-custom' directories needed:
mkdir -p /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/e-smith/events/post-backup/
Copy the script fragment to be modified to the 'templates-custom' directory:
cd /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/e-smith/events/post-backup/
cp /etc/e-smith/events/post-backup/S50rewind-tape .
Edit the fragment and change 'rewind' to 'offline'.
vi S50rewind-tape
Recreate the backup script:
/sbin/e-smith/expand-template /etc/e-smith/events/post-backup/S50rewind-tape
Verify the recreated backup script:
cat /etc/e-smith/events/post-backup/S50rewind-tape
All backups will now eject the tape when done.
