        I believe that there is the problem, the computer doesn't recognize the
writing to tape as "not idle" and therefore enters hibernate while still
writing to the tape.

        I'd say the easiest way is if the tape backup always takes a certain amount
of time then simply set the idle to be longer then that time. TTYL
