And is the process independent of the particular model of DAT drive? Several of my co-workers use the company SCSI DAT to back up their machines once a week (they buy their own tapes, so what the hell) and the OS/2 users just use GTAR. Lacks in snazz value, but it's free. And in the case of GTAR, it is independent of tape model. You can find the program on Hobbes under the unix subdirectory. Hell, look in the index. FYI for other FTP hounds like myself: The CICA, Simtel and Hobbes CD ROMS put out by Walnut Creek are available for $16 a piece, which to me was worth it to save xfer time. http://www.raddev.com/biz/raddev has the info - I'm not affiliated, just a happy customer.
