Some time ago, Sven-Ove Westberg posted a program which will read VMS
backup tapes on UNIX machines. I compiled this beast on our VAX-785
running Ultrix 3.0 (Rev 64) - no problems.
The only problem is the only output I can ever get is:
Volume: BACKUP
Saveset name: BACKUP. number: 1
End of tape
My question is: How can I get this beast to read the tapes? Neither
an e(x)tract or (t)able of contents gives me any more output - regardless
of the other switches I supply.
I don't know enough (read anything) about tape ioctl's so the code is
a bit beyond me.
Also, my attempts to mail the author have proven unsuccessful.
So if you can help, please MAIL any replies to me as I don't actually read
this newsgroup. Thanks in advance.
