-==== CopyToTape ====
-CopyToTape is a script for copying a folder from NorStore's disk area to NorStore's tape resource.
-Run ''CopyToTape -h'' to print detailed instructions:
-<file>
-Usage: CopyToTape <path on disk> <path on tape> [none|gzip|bzip2]
-Example: CopyToTape /projects/NS2345K/hirlam_nobackup /tape/NS2345K/hirlam
-Purpose: Copies a folder from disk to tape.
-Description: <path on disk> must be the absolute path to the input folder.
-             The output folder <path on tape> will be created - with parent
-             directories if necessary - and must not exist before running this
-             script.
-             The input data is staged in form of tar-chuncks in
-             /scratch/ingo/copytotape. The tar-chunks are removed from scratch
-             after success transfer to tape.
-             The size of a single tar-chunk is about 15Gb if no compression is
-             applied. If compression is applied, the size of the tar-chunks can
-             be up to 60Gb as a compression factor 4 is assumed.
-             Checksums for all input files are computed and stored in a separate
-             checksum file. The checksums are used to verify the tar-chunks.
