Hi -
I need to move ascii datafiles from an IBM RT (AIX 2.2.1) to a Sequent 6080
(*NIX version unknown), and can write to 1/4" DC600A-type cartridge tape.
In order that the Sequent be able to read my tapes, should I use cpio -c,
backup or tar format? I have one opportunity, so I need to select the
method most likely to succeed.
I have created AIX tapes in cpio -c format that I have been able to read
on AIX 1.1 (PS/2) and SCO Xenix ('286 clone), and think this may be the
best, unless someone out there knows otherwise.
Thanks for your help.
