Does anyone have a tar utility that works on NT tape drives? I have gtar, available over in Win32 SDK (I ftp'd mine), but it appears to have no way to access the Tape device (I have an Archive QIC150). In the registry, the archive entry has a Device Name entry of "Tape0", but no combo of names with Tape0 seem to work. I've seen the \\.\Devicename notation as well for NT devices, and have tried that (ie \\.\Tape0). So, is there a way to do tar? Is there a way to access tapedrives under NT at a raw device level? Thanks in advance…Tom Read action !reply
