Path: utzoo!attcan!uunet!littlei!ogcvax!johnm From: johnm@ogcvax.ogc.edu (John Mates) Newsgroups: comp.sys.apollo Subject: WBAK <-- ? --> TAR Keywords: rbak, wbak, tar Message-ID: <1733@ogcvax.ogc.edu> Date: 6 Jul 88 19:12:54 GMT Reply-To: johnm@ogcvax.UUCP (John Mates) Organization: Oregon Graduate Center, Beaverton, OR Lines: 13 We have one old Apollo 420 and plan to get several 3000s before fall. Our 9-track tape drives, however, will be connected to our central Sequent Symmetry. So I asked the local Apollo rep if he knew of small programs to convert formats from tar to wbak and back, in part because we understand we cannot rbak and wbak to a remote drive across our ethernet. (Also, because of the obvious convenience of such a facility.) He said he knew of no such utility. I would really appreciate hearing news to the contrary!
