I'm trying to use tar from Cygwin 1.7 Beta on a Win 2008 R2 machine to backup some files to a Quantum LTO 4 SAS tape drive. I've tried all the usual POSIX paths (/dev/nst0, /dev/st0, /dev/st1, etc.) as well as some other variants (\\.\tape0) with no joy. tar fails with a "No such file or directory" error. I'm not sure how to find out details on the actual Win device paths. The best tool that I've been able to find is devcon which list the tape drive as follows: SCSI\SEQUENTIAL&VEN_QUANTUM&PROD_ULTRIUM_4\6&369B1AD2&0&000000 Name: Quantum LTO 4 Tape Drive Hardware ID's: SCSI\SequentialQUANTUM_ULTRIUM_4_______2190 SCSI\SequentialQUANTUM_ULTRIUM_4_______ SCSI\SequentialQUANTUM_ SCSI\QUANTUM_ULTRIUM_4_______2 QUANTUM_ULTRIUM_4_______2 Compatible ID's: SCSI\Sequential SCSI\RAW Is there any way to access this device using tar from cygwin? Can I specify Windows device paths with 1.7? If so, how would I identify the path to the device? Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks, Jeff -- Jeffrey C.
