Hi Eric,

I have tried even the way you have mentioned the backslashes. And they too
seem to work properly. But again as I said Nothing is written onto the
cartridges loaded in the tapes...

I have run the same using a Linux host using the command:
 tar -cf /dev/st0 /StratfordData/StratfordData/30GB_dataset/
and it worked fine. The problem perssts with the windows host.
