: I use them all the time and I have never had to format a SCSI tape.
: I am using a 2 gig Wangdat DAT & 250 Meg Tandberg drive under linux.
: Just TAR, CPIO, DD the info out to the tape device.
: Marc Christensen
I'd rather have a 'dump' which knows about things like binary files
with holes in them, but at this point I'd settle for anything. I
have 0.99pl2, and no mt devices. Where can I find the missing pieces?
Thanks in advance.
