Reading MPE :STORE tapes in HP-UX

[Tom Madigan_1]

Is anyone aware of a utility that will read MPE :STORE tapes on a HP-UX box running version 11.i? We have scads and scads of :STORE tapes that we would like to convert over to HP-UX and we would like to avoid having to ftp 20,000 files between systems, if possible. Will a MPE Posix tar tape be readable by HP-UX? I noticed that MPE tar adds an extra file to the tar tape for every file that is stored.

Thanks all!

Hi Tom,

Take a look at this doc.

Mr. Madigan,
You might want to resubmit this question in the MPE Forum. I know that many MPE experts frequent that forum and may be able to help you.

I do know that STORE tapes cannot be read by other utilities, i.e. only RESTORE can restore them.
