Depends a little on what sort of software is on the tape drive. But, probably you can either use dump(8)/restore(8) or tar with no problem. They can dump/restore to/from remote devices/files. I have done it on some systems, though it has been a while since the last time because my hardware has changed. Dump/restore can be rather sensitive to version and host OS. ////jerry > > Thanks, > > > Jay > > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" >
