Hello, is it possible to configure a virtual tape, just working on an other harddisk? Lokaly or on any other Server in the network Writing an reading on it should be transparent for commands like tar, cpio or any backup software. Or in other words: Can you only load a driver for an non existent streamer and use it to write on disk? Or do I need a special software solution? If you will excuse me ;), anybody knows if it exists a comparable solution under Linux? greetings Christian -- -- +++ GMX - Mail, Messaging & more http://www.gmx.net +++ NEU: Mit GMX ins Internet.
