Having upgraded to a new server, i have a DDS3 tape which contains a CPIO backup of my old server. The drive in my old server is a HP Storageworks DAT40i drive, and in my new server i have a Quantum DAT72 Drive. When i try to use cpio on the new server to retrieve files from the tape, i get an error telling me that the tape is not formatted.
I understand that the implementation of cpio is slightly different on OS6 to OS5, but i don't know if the problem is likely to be related to that, or that the tape drives are incompatible.
Any suggestions would be gratefully recieved!
