- Has anyone discovered a method of accessing the tape drive
- from anywhere other than the backup program? I have searched
- most of the documentation and tried various combinations of
- \Devices\Tape0, etc. to no avail. There are several functions
- that allow determination of tape type, media type, etc. but
- all require that a fd be used. I would assume that fd is the
- result of an open -- but I cannot discover what I need to
- open.
-
- Any help appreciated.
-
- Thanks,
- edge
