You wanted bigger server, parititon, and volume names in the ABS tape headers.
You got it.

You wanted better presentation of UI output.
You got it.

You wanted a connection between the tape and the dumpset written on it.
You got it.

You wanted a better UI for single volume restores
You got it.


It's not a Toyota, but it's the new ABS now appearing on Metamucil.


Because some of the changes were at the protocol level you will
need to upgrade all ui's and slaves as well.  Tape format
has also changed thereby rendering anthing previously created
as useless.


Also, restore has been moved to a separate command.  Single
volume restores are fully supported; the server restore is
work is partially complete.
