I'm not a wizard, and can offer only a suggestion.
Investigate the dd command. That should allow
you to make a byte-for-byte copy.

Hello UNIX literate from one who is not!
I have a need and hopefully someone out there has a solution.
The problem: The need to duplicate UNIX software on 60 MB data
cartridges. I have a Prime EXL320 CPU which runs System 5 Version 3.1.2
UNIX. I can (I have the Hardware) configure two 60 MB tape drives on
the same SCSI chain, if necessary. (This would allow me to theoretically
do a tape-to-tape copy.) If it is just as easy to do a
tape-to-disk-to-tape then ok also. I want to DUPLICATE exactly the data
from the source tape to a blank tape so that they are functionally
identical.
As I stated from the beginning, I am quite new to UNIX and would
appreciate your help with EXACT steps and procedures.
Thanks, Gantt Edmiston, PrimeService Customer Engineer
