Hi,
I have been trying to write few backups using the tar command onto a tape drive which is zoned to my Windows server. The Carts have been loaded on the tapes on which I need to run the backup. I found the tape Symbolic name from the Device manager tab. And this is the command that I used.
tar -cf \\.\Tape0 /cygdrive/c/StratfordData
Where Tape0: is my tape drive. /cygdrive/c/StratfordData is my source. When I run this command I do not get any error message, but nothing is written.
"This mt is designed to be used on Cygwin only. It knows about the special tape information given only in the Cygwin case."
