SUMMARY: Extract_unbundled tape backup
QUESTION:
I submitted the following message:
Dear Gurus,
I have some tapes which were recorded in the SunOS extract_unbundled
format. Is there a way to make a backup of those tapes? I mean, they
are old streamer QIC 150 tapes, and I would like to backup it to newer
4 mm DAT or 8 mm tapes. Is there a way to do so?
I have both SunOS 4.1.3 and Solaris 2.5.1.
I would appreciate even scripts for doing so. I will summarize.
TIA
REMARKS:
It seems to be a very interesting and still challanging discussion,
where one have to decide among comercial dedicated software, Public
Domain Software or home made scripts.

SOLUTION:
1. Use the software tcopy, that comes with Solaris (I didn't test it)
2. Use a public Domain copytape software. If someone need the software
please let me know, and I will send it. I tested it, and it has
worked properly.
3. Use a dedicated script to do that. David Markowitz has one. I did
not test it, also.
