we have a new 8mm DAT tape drive (SCSI) for a Decstation 5000. 2Gbyte capacity per cartridge, very nice. what we need to know, before we try to construct it ourselves, is if there is already A fairly easy to use and "transparent" software package available (shareware preferably) to act as a front end or replacement for dump/restore(8) that will allow a user to dump and restore multiple partitions (from the same machine, presumably) to a single cartridge without requiring human intervention other than the requisite tape cartridge changes? please e-mail. thanks. -- Michael H.
