hello Unixer, I am writing a tar tape from an Apollo 3500 (SR10.1) to a Sun 3/280 (OS4.01) with the following command: tar cf - ./dirname | rsh sunname dd of=/dev/rst8 obs=20b and all is well. And when I read it back with: rsh sunname dd if=/dev/rst8 obs=20b | tar tvf - it gives me the list of files on the tape. The problem is that it takes 6 times as long then doing a list on the local system. Does that mean that restoring a gigabyte this way will take hours? Anybody has tried this before? Is there another way to achieve archiving of a big Apollo disk to a tape device on a Sun? Thank for your help. --- Paul Gill Analyst, Concordia University, Computer Science, 1455 De Maisonneuve Ouest, Montreal, Quebec, Canada H3G 1M8 email: paul@concour.cs.concordia.ca Phone:(514)-848-3035
