How can I access a Unix tar tape on my SCSI DAT drive on my Windows PC?
I have some tar files that were created on a Unix workstation that I would like to access from my PC. I have a SCSI DAT drive (Archive Python 28388-XXX) on my PC but the software that I have on my system (Win98) only recognizes Windows backup format. I have tried DATman99, but in the raw block reading mode I have to know in advance how many blocks are in a tar archive file and I don't see how to determine that directly from the information that I have.
I have tried doing a 'live' boot of Linux (Knoppix), but it doesn't recognize my SCSI drive directly. I am familiar with HP-UX and the 'stape' driver, but I can't find the equivalent in the Knoppix distribution.
I prefer free/open source solutions, but I would pay to get a workable solution that can safely transfer these files.
Thank you in advance for your time!
it just might access easily.
