We have Excelan networking software running on several machines with
SCO Xenix. I want to back up from one machine to another that has
an exabyte. To do this I use:
rsh Miranda "tar cf - /" | dd of=/dev/exab0 ibs=1 obs=1024
This is all fine and dandy except it is very,very slow. We tracked the
slowness to dd. So if we could find another program that will format a
block to tape. I cannot find one. If tar read from stdio, we could do
it that way, but it don't. Now, if I had the source code to tar
then it would read from stdio. I can program.
So this is my request: Either a copy of the source code to tar
or
a way to back up using tcpip without using dd.
