I have tried mounting remote filesystems and then using cpio, but this has not been an acceptable solution. I would like to use one (or a few) tape(s) cartridges. I have a 150 meg SCSI tape unit on the Sparc 330's and would rather use that than the 60 meg unit on the 4/260's. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thank You, Tom Hoth uunet!melpar!hoth
