I would like to know if anyone has had success in creating a backup copy of the Sun O.S boot tape(s). I have tried the command: # dd if=/dev/rst0 count=100 of=ostape1 --> to copy the tape to disk which copied approximately 36 megabytes from the tape to the disk and, # dd if=ostape1 of=/dev/rst0 --> to copy the disk file to tape This produced a tape with 36 megabytes of information on it, but attempts to boot from this tape failed. Please E-Mail the response to: melpar!hoth Thanks Tom Hoth - E-Systems, Falls Church VA
