- If you only want to 'tar' from/to a remote tape -- I recommend
- gnu-tar. We use it daily in a mixed hardware environment -- and it works great!
-
- Example: tar -cvf REMOTEHOST:/dev/rst8 file(s)
-
- writes a tar-archive to device /dev/rst8 on host REMOTEHOST.
- Get it from 'prep.ai.mit.edu' pub/gnu
