hi,
I have a tape drive installed in my windows 2000 system. How can i create
archive on tape. With the latest cygwin installed, I am able to list the
contents of the tape using the command "tar -tvf //./tape0" however I am
unable to create archive on tape using the command "tar -cvf //./tape0
C:\BackupFolder". The error i am getting is as follows:-
tar: //./tape0: Cannot open: Invalid argument
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
Can somebody help me in it?
Thanks.
With regards from
