Hello!

We have a DEC Alpha running UNIX 3.2G. I created a tape in a tar format
taring different files off the server on to the tape using tar uvf....... I
have to make multiple copies of the tape. We have two tape drives attached
to the system. I tried using dd command:

dd if=/dev/rmt0h of=/dev/rmt0h

But, when I try to do tar tvf /dev/rmt0h for verification, I get an error:

Its not a tar format......

How can I make multiple copies of the tape?

TIA

Harry
