Does any one have a tar that can handle (both read and write) multiple tapes that runs on 4.2? If so, would you please send me the source. Nancy Blachman ..!ucbvax!amd70!resonex!nancy ..!allegra!resonex!nancy Resonex, Sunnyvale, CA (408)720 8600

I have a program which runs as a front end to tar that handles a number of
nice things that tar doesn't such as multiple tapes and incremental
backups. I've posted it before (it was written for 4.1 and I haven't gotten
it up on 4.2 yet) and I can make it available again as soon as I do a few
performance fixes to it. It was used (it may still be, for all I know) as
an alternative to dump on a 4.1 system where I wasn't able to take the
system single user for backups and was in production for about 6 months. It
doesn't require any changes to tar, but a few minor fixes could make it run
MUCH better.
