- Other people have been comlaining about the 'tar' program from Fish 445
- doesn't work properly either. I have not played much with GNUTar.
-
- I've been using 'tar' & BTN-Handler since I got my A3070 under several
- versions of WB 2.x, doing both backups & restores without any problems.
-
- So what problems have people had?
-
- Here is my mountlist & system configuration:
- /*
- BTN Tape Handler
- ================
- Example mountlist. Modify it for your specific system setup.
- Note: 512 appears to be correct block size for A3070
- */
- TAPE: Handler = L:btn-handler
- Startup = "scsi.device/UN-4/BS-512/NB-1024/BT-4/OV-1"
- Stacksize = 4000
- Priority = 5 /* use 11 for Supra 4x4 */
- GlobVec = -1
- Mount = 1
