I'm new to this list so forgive me if this has been asked before. 

How do I access tape drives using tar on NT? When I do a mount it lists
device names for tape drives but these don't seem to do anything when
using with tar. 

How do I find out what my tape drive device is and how do I get NT to
access it?

Thanks for any help.

Kevin.
