I'm interested in moving up to QIC backups, instead of the standard 9-track reels I have. I have access to QIC units on an IBM RS/6000 and a Sun workstation. My question is can I read-in tarfiles written on another UNIX system, if they are both set on the same length, density and formatting specs? The RS/6000 supports DC-300XLP, and I believe the Sun also. I would like comments from anyone who does this regularly. Thanks in advance, - Gary M. Lin skidrow@ceres.ucsc.edu
