Message-ID: Date: 5 Apr 91 23:49:57 GMT Sender: news@sol.AER.COM Distribution: comp.unix questions, comp.unix.admin, alt.sys.sun Organization: Atmospheric Environmental Research Inc., Cambridge, MA USA Lines: 26 I need a way to make copies of our exabyte dump tapes, a couple of times a week. These have ten or so dump files on them. Copytape works for making a copy of 9-track tapes: 9-track tape drive a ---> { copytape } ---> 9-track tape drive b 1. Is there a program that will do: exabyte tape drive a ---> { copytape } ---> exabyte tape drive b (A while back, I couldn't get copytape to work with an exabyte drive.) 2. Is there in fact a way to run exabyte drives to make copies directly: exabyte tape drive a ---> exabyte tape drive b 3. If there is a reasonable way to make duplicates of these exabyte tapes, I would appreciate hearing of it. Thanks. -- George Planansky Atmospheric & Environmental Research 840 Memorial Drive, Cambridge, MA 02139 gplanansky@aer.com (617) 547-6207 fax: 661-6479
