From: drd@siia.MV.COM (David Dick) >From: cazier@mbunix.mitre.org (Cazier) >How portable are tar tapes from one machine to another. My experience >has been that tar within a vendor's site is portable but to try to >carry a tar 1/4" tape from one vendor to another --- that's another story. The trouble with 1/4 inch tapes is not tar format, but format of recording data on the tape: there are QIC-11, QIC-24, and QIC-150 (and maybe others). I'm not even sure that having QIC-11 or QIC-24 is even sufficient. However, I suspect all the QIC-150s are the same. David Dick Software Innovations, Inc.
