The only tape drive I have that's capable of reading this tape is an internal drive on a W2K box with Cygwin loaded.
I tried doing a remote ufsrestore from a Solaris server but got: blade-100: ufsrestore tf backup:/dev/st0 connect to address 128.57.32.9: Connection refused I probably need some Cygwin service to run to service the request, but which one? -----Original Message----- From: Elfyn McBratney [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, June 26, 2003 6:32 PM To: Meier, Daniel W.

I beleive this can be done with GNU tar (tar -xf /dev/st0?). Take a look at main/info tar and `tar --help'. I might be wrong.
