GNUtar

The Free Software Foundation tar (gnutar) is now included in the release package. Gnutar is the standard, open, readily available version of tar that is available for many system platforms. It is included in the SAM-FS release package for installation on various customer platforms as part of a disaster recovery plan. Gnutar is used to read the standard tar formatted tapes created by SAM-FS in the disaster scenario where the SAM-FS system is completely lost, and by using gnutar on another separate platform allows access to the archived data readily.
