- I've just installed an IBM internal tape drive in my PS/2. I can now use
- the accompanying backup program to backup my hard disk, which was the
- main reason I bought it.
-
- However, if the backup program can read/write to the tape, why can't I do
- it directly? IS there any way I can do this from inside a C program,
- for example?
-
- Thanks for any information
