So I finally got this TSZ07 that I've been wanting
for a while so I can
archive a mountain of magtape I have (including System III sources for
the 11/780, on up to distro tapes of the 1990s).
Unfortunately System III is not
covered by the Caldera Ancient UNIX
License. http://www.tuhs.org/Archive/Caldera-license.pdf
But if you have somthing that is not in the TUHS Archive and covered
by the license, please hand it to Warren Toomey...
What tools are people using for tape archiving under
Linux or Solaris?
cptape,
ftp://ftp.cs.tu-berlin.de/pub/bsd/UnixArchive/PDP-11/Tools/Tapes/
from the README:
This program can read a tape on
a UNIX box without the user having to
know anything about its format. This program automatically determines how many
files are on the tape, what is the record size for each, and whether there are
any oddities such as partial records. It saves each tape file into a separate
disk file and produces a log of everything found on the tape.
Restoreing the tapes can be done with:
