- Subject: How to use tar command for tape drive.
hi,
I have a tape drive installed in my windows 2000 system. How can i create
archive on tape. With the latest cygwin installed, I am able to list the
contents of the tape using the command "tar -tvf //./tape0" however I am
unable to create archive on tape using the command "tar -cvf //./tape0
C:\BackupFolder". The error i am getting is as follows:-
tar: //./tape0: Cannot open: Invalid argument
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
So I tried with the following command "tar -cv //./tape0 C:\BackupFolder"
The error below I got and I have to press ctrl+C to exit from this command.
tar: Removing leading `//' from member names
./tape0
tar: //./tape0: Read error at byte 0, reading 9728 bytes: No space left on
