What is the current best practice for creating an
image of a SCSI tape
in such a way that it can later be used to reliably make a replica of
that tape?
I have a fully functioning SCSI tape drive (via Linux at the moment) and
want to image various sorts of Data General (and other) tapes safely and
also duplicate a couple of them. They are in various odd formats. I
can use the non-rewinding device (/dev/nrst0 etc) to get individual
files off the tapes but that is tedious and writing a tape like that
seems like a nightmare.
I found tcopy and built it - but it expects two drives and does not deal
with the drive-and-file case.
