- if he's using Amiback or quarterback with a streamer drive like
- the wangtek 5150 or the viper then Amiback and quarterback don't format
- them at all they just dump raw writes to tape. I have both types of
- streamer drives and have never had to format a tape to backup anything.
- Either Amiback/Quarterback is recognizing the tape is allready formatted from
- manufacturer or it's just dumping raw writes to tape.
