Very Computer

Question. Help, please.
I have Interactive UNIX System V, Vers:3...
The standard backup system (streammer) connected to IBM PC (486DX2) via SCSI.
This is a new device for me and I don't know how I can use it at all.
I know there is a TAR command (#man tar | more). That is the name of driver
for TAR ?
Are there any other programs to control streammer?

The device names are, as far as i remember: /dev/rmt* /dev/tape.

/dev/tape is, i think, for 120MB cardridges and /dev/rmt0 for 150MB.

For example "tar cvf /dev/rmt0 /usr" will backup your user filesystem,
"tar xvf /dev/rmt0" will restore it.

Have also a look at the "mt" & "cpio" commands.
