Hi,
I have an ageing sco/unix 3.2 system from which I would like to transfer some data to a windows xp PC. The problem is that the sco/unix system only has a floppy drive or a DAT drive as removable media. It has no modern network card so a direct ftp transfer is out of the question. The windows XP machine does have compatible DAT drive also.
Small amounts of data can be moved using the doscp command and floppy drive. However I want to move several quite big files (100MB each) how can I do this?
Is it possible to use the tape drive using something like doscp to copy the files to tape?
I cannot read the back up tapes that are created by the sco/unix system in a windows pc, it just says the tape is in an invalid format.
If I create the files then let them get copied to tape using overnight back up how can I read them off the tape in windows? (When a backup occurs the data is written using CPIO through DD to DAT).
Any help suggestions or ideas would be gratefully appreciated!!!!
