I am having the same problem. We have a lot of legacy data written to tape on a Unix system using tar. We now have to be able to access the data on Windows. I tried using tar, but I cannot read the data on Windows. I am getting a "taperead: 1106" error. I can create a regular tar archive on the Unix system, ftp it to my Windows system, and then untar it without a problem, but this will not work with a tape. Any suggestions?
