Tool to maintain tar tape archives and control compression.
- Version:
- 2.0.0
- Description:
- Once you have recorded the record number of each file of
a tar scsi-tape archive, you are able to find and extract these
files very fast. If you have a DAT drive, you can extract every
small file from a 2GB tape withing 40 seconds.
You can either use dds2tar or GNUtar to create an index file.
The software is only convenient, if your tape supports a fast
positioning command.
Added code to chage the compression mode of HP-DAT.
mt-dds is included to control compression mode of the device.
Linux (because of the TELL and SEEK command)
