Copy of DDS bootable tape

[Laurent Peygourdi]

Hello,

I would like to make a copy of a bootable tape (Ignite tape). How can i proceed ?

/opt/ignite/bin/make_recovery -A -C -d /dev/rmt/0m

( or 1m or 2m etc, whatever your DAT device: check it with ioscan -fnCtape )

You're probably best of by using "dd"
If you have two tape drives you can copy directly between them, otherwise you can create a temporary file on disk.

Hi,

to copy ignite tape there is already a tool avaiable:
copy_boot_tape
See: man copy_boot_tape

Sorry... i had known you had to do a boot tape not a copy.

In this case use :
copy_boot_tape

See man copy_boot_tape
