### Taperotate ###
This is just a small complementary script to serverbackup.sh. The script keep
track on which tape you last used for your backup so you'll know which tape
to use next. Either you can run the script by itself or include it on the same
line as serverbackup such as `./serverbackup.sh && ./taperotate.sh`. Each time
taperotate is run a new line is printed in the tapefile.txt file which contains
the tape used. The next time the script is run it automatically increases the tape
number by one.
The first time you run taperotate.sh you'll have to initialize it with the -i N
option where N is the tape you start with. If you change the order of the tapes
later on you can use the -i option again to start over with tape N (the old lines
will be kept though to keep track on the old backups).
