Re: read nt-backup tape using unix

There is nothing in common between NT and Unix systems. The classic tar and cpio programs can be downloaded for the PC but if you did not use that program to backup your data, then the Unix system won't have any software to read the NT tapes. There is no standard for backup programs so unless you can find some program that runs on Unix that understands the NT program format, you'll need to get the NT box repaired.
You can be replaced by a small shell script...
