i'd appreciate hearing whether anyone has successfully written a tar tape
on a dlt tape device on a sun (solaris v2.6 or later) and have it readable
off a dlt tape device on a winnt 4.0 server using tar. i.e. is there
anything unique about how either operating system,tar versions or hardware
might make data transfer across these operating systems as described
above impossible ?

thank you for your help. j.c.

i've done it with a dat and it worked fine:)
the only problem i have seen has been to do with the block size, f the default
blocksize for the drive was not varable, but this may have been the version of
TAR i was using on thent server.

The best way to move data between NT and unix i have found to be is via the
network using an a product like samba so the unix boxes appear in the NT
Network Neighbourhood.
