Hi all,

I wish to know if they are a way to make level 0 archives from Unix
(SCO) to one disk file on w2k.

I share a folder named "level0" with a file name "backup", then I
modify the tbconfig TAPEDEV to ip_nt:/level0/backup

When I start de archive (tbtape -s) I receive one error "Connection
Refused".

Some one have some experience or idea?

Thank's you very much (and sorry for my english).

What is wrong with multiple 2 gig files? just set your TAPESIZE and
TAPEBLK so that the files aren't greater than 2gig on SCO. When the
"tape" fills up it will ask for you to load a new tape. mv the current
tape to something useful like backup_file_1, then recreate the TAPEDEV
file with the correct permissions and hit enter on the ontape prompt
that is asking for the file. You can probably cat the files back
together on W2K if you want.

If that won't work for you and you aren't afraid of named pipes you
can use rcp to copy a "file" (named pipe) to your destination machine.
I used to backup a 200 gig database through a named pipe that
compressed it and then rcp'd it to another named pipe on another box.
It worked well, but you need to equiv and rsh appropriately. Oops does
W2K have named pipes. I guess you can use FTP with named pipes
although I haven't done it so I get vouch for it.
