RMTx to share out with WINdows??

[bonsky]

is there a possibility to chare my tape drive, to windows user over the network, to use the tape as backup drive for win servers?Something like SAMBA that i can share out some space of my disk to other users.
I know this one can be done using 3rd party SW, but then is it possible without using any other software, just configuring it at AIX, or rather use a free SW that is downloadable? Any suggestions?All i wanna do is to back up some data in my WINserver but the machine itself dont have a tape drive so i plan to use the RS machine's tape drive, sound crazy though, but just thought of doing that temporarily.

THANKS!

A hacky way to do it might be to compress Win files with some utility and ftp them to AIX for archive to tape. Reverse process for restore. IBM Certified -- AIX 4.3 Obfuscation
