+This is an automated report from the backup script running on 
+`hostname`. 
+
+Volume ${volno} of the backup needs to be put in the tape drive.  Usually
+whoever prepared the backup leaves labeled tapes on top of the drive
+itself.  If there aren't any more, information about where to find tapes
+and how to label them are posted on the wall by apple-gunkies (unhelpfully
+obscured by a bookshelf).  An online copy (which is probably more
+up-to-date) can also be found in ~friedman/etc/fsf/backup.how.
