I got this really great way to make duplicates of tapes between
machines. I tried it out today, and it worked (or so I thought).
When I tried to read the new tape with:
tar tf /dev/rst8
I got:
tar: directory checksum error (0 != 40860)
The command to duplicate the tape was:
dd if=/dev/rst0 bs=126b | rsh <host> dd of=/dev/rst0 bs=126b
This is SunOS (versions 4.0.3c and 4.0.2 on the two machines)
Anyone got any ideas. I really need to copy this tape and I thought
this would be a good way...
Thanks in advance
Robert

I wrote a shell script around the above command and solved the problem. Sorry about jumping the gun on the problem Thanks Robert -- Robert L.
