DLT8000

[ben chi(f4)]

Howdy all,

I'm trying to access my DLT8000 (which the company doesn't support anymore) but I'm unsuccessful.

I've tried to access the drives on my Solaris box:

tar tvf /dev/rmt/0 .

all I get is:

./

I have then moved the DLT8000 to my windows machine and haven't been able to access the drives through ntbackup.

Is there anyway I can verify what's on the drives on my windows machine? If there is information, how do I get it off?

thanks in advance.

I don't know about the drive itself, but your tar syntax is wrong. If your listing the archive contents (-t) then any files given on the command line instruct tar to only match those files. Effectively you told tar to list all files on the archive found on /dev/rmt/0 that match the name of .

So, if you want to list the whole archive contents, don't specify a file name.

tar tvf /dev/rmt/0
