How to view all files on DAT tape
I'm using tar and so far so good, but how can I view ALL files without having to fast forward and rewind the tape? Let's say I append 100 files onto the tape. Having to fast forward 100 times until I find the file I want is kinda tedious.

If you are putting all the files on the tape at the same time, it is normal to make a "tar" or "cpio" archive of a batch of files which counts as just one file on tape.
Better to use proper backup software like unix "dump"/"restore" or commerical backup software. Last edited by methyl; 09-23-2009 at 09:31 AM.. Reason: Rewrite post completely! |
