My 4D-25TG is networked (with NFS) into a mostly Sun-based group of machines. Hanging off of the Sun 3/280 file server is an Artecon 8mm tape drive. Naturally, I would like to use this for my backups instead of the cartridge drive so that I can do the backups unattended. Yet when I try to set this up using the remote backup feature in the system manager tool, I get the following message: The system is unable to open the remote tape device. on a stickup menu. We have created a /dev/tape link on the Sun machine to which the 8mm drive is connected, figuring that would be the device that the backup program would look for, but we get the same problem. Has anybody figured out how to do this, either with the window-based program manager, or some other way?
