With Linux, it gives the number of 1024k-Blocks on the tape. IMHO, it
should read

	$rc = 0xffff & system("dump -0Bf $size $tape $part");

In my backuplog:

Running tape.pl with  backupdir /backup, dumpdir /backup/14Dec1999,
tape /dev/nst0 on host smuf.
cp: /vice/db/etc: omitting directory <---!!!
Label: Coda I Tuesday

which should be caused by

	system("cp -p $dbdir/* $dumpdir");

Maybe this should read

	system("cp -ax $dbdir/* $dumpdir");

Something different:
1. The documentation says nothing about not being allowed to name the
backup-Partition "backup"; it seems as if you need two partitions, say
'backup' and 'backup1' with 'backup1' being in vicetab.

2. The 'vice-setup' scripts says asks for a serverid with 0 < serverid <
255, but somewhere hidden in the docs is the information 128 < serverid
< 255, so this should be updated.

Thanx for this.
