Hello all,

I wanna take backup on 2 large IRIX hosts, using "tar" and "rmt" across the 
network, using a tapestreamer on a FreeBSD "backup host".. I was thinking,
is there any problems in doing backups on IRIX using a streamer on a 
FreeBSD machine?

As far as I know, the "rmt", "tar" and "rsh" are the same protocols / 
programs, regardless of hardware platform, or even unix variant.. But I am
not 100 % sure of this .. anyway, my streamer is a HP SureStore 6000, I was
a little confused by the hardware FAQ, it reads .. : 

 .. "Hewlett-Packard HP C1533A,

.. This drive is used in Hewlett-Packard's SureStore 6000eU and 6000i
 tape drives and C1533A DDS-2DAT drive."


Does this mean that my drive ( SureStore 6000 ) is supported?

I hope someone can give me some good advice.
