i had did backup with rewind tape command, it is working as normal. The rewind command i used in HP unix is like this:
mt -t /dev/rmt/0m rew
actually u can set the block size on the command but i am not sure how it exactly look like, u can refer to this command below:
tar cvfb -20 * | remsh 123.456.789.00 dd of=/dev/rmt/0m obs=20b
note:
b=blocksize, dd= drive as directory, 20b=blocksize is 20
i think "tar cvb -20 . "also can work, try this.

Hi every body,
Is it possible to connect two servers Back-to-Back (Point-to-Point) using HBA adapters & using Fiber.
Note it is direct connection & there is no switches between the servers.
I'm concern about using HBA adapters, it is possible or not.
Thanks in advance. :) (3 Replies)

NAME
tcopy - copy a magnetic tape
SYNOPSIS
tcopy source [destination]
DESCRIPTION
The tcopy utility copies the magnetic tape mounted on the tape drive specified by the source argument. The only assumption made about the
contents of a tape is that there are two tape marks at the end.
When only a source drive is specified, tcopy scans the tape, and displays information about the sizes of records and tape files. If a des-
tination is specified, tcopy makes a copies the source tape onto the destination tape, with blocking preserved. As it copies, tcopy pro-
duces the same output as it does when only scanning a tape.
The tcopy utility requires the use of Berkeley-compatible device names. For example,
example% tcopy /dev/rmt/1b /dev/rmt/2b
