[comp.sys.sgi] Tar problem using System Manage/Backup&Restore

naiming@eng.umd.edu (Naiming Shen) (06/11/91)

After I used System Manager/Backup&Restore system utility, I have
problem to read the files  on the tape by "tar t". It gave me
"tar: directory checksum error". Is this because the System Manager/
Backup&Restore doesn't use tar command?
Thanks.

Yes, the system manager uses bru, not tar.

Life would be so much easier if we could just look at the source code.
