Hi, I have been trying to write few backups using the tar command onto a tape drive which is zoned to my Windows server. The Carts have been loaded on the tapes on which I need to run the backup. I found the tape Symbolic name from the Device manager tab. And this is the command that I used. tar -cf \\.\Tape0 /cygdrive/c/StratfordData Where Tape0: is my tape drive. /cygdrive/c/StratfordData is my source. When I run this command I do not get any error message, but nothing is written. -- View this message in context: http://cygwin.1069669.n5.nabble.com/Using-tar-to-run-backups-onto-a-tape-device-using-cygwin-tp93659.html Sent from the Cygwin list mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
