Markowitz) Original-subject: Re: "copytape" makes exact duplicates of most tapes -- Newer version? Reposted-by: emv@msen.com (Edward Vielmetti, MSEN) In comp.sys.sun you write: >The program "copytape" makes exact duplicates of SUN 1/4" tapes and DEC >tapes and probably others. This includes boot tapes. >However, "copytape" fails on tapes that contain files whose record size >changes in a file. >Does anyone know of a modified "copytape" that can handle this situation? Enclosed is my program "tapecv", which will handle this properly. It requires two tape drives, but no disk space. The drives can be on different machines, and can be different types of drives.
