Looking for Linux software for AIT-3 tape duplication.

[stla]

Good evening,

We have are looking for tape copy software for our Linux server.

We use AIT-3 tapes

Does anyone know of an available software either as command line or as GUI.

Best regards

If you can mount the drives, I think the tar command is all you should need.

Sorry, I think my question wa a little misleading; I am actually looking to copy existing tapes. Basically we have tape backup software but we need to maka a 1:1 copy of each tape.

Any ideas?

Best regards

dd should meet your needs.

Maby something like:

mt -f /dev/rmt/0 rewind
mt -f /dev/rmt/1 rewind
dd if=/dev/rmt/0 of=/dev/rmt/1

Where /dev/rmt/0 is your existing tape, and rmt/1 a blank tape.
