Hello,
  I have got a lot of directories(each contains a lot of files) on a
Linux 64 bit machine.
  I want to copy these directories to a tape(DLT4)connected to a tru64
machine with OS 5.1A.
  I would like to use ssh to copy the files from Linux and also I want
to copy 1:1 to tape
   (not tar file). How can I copy to tape? I tried with tar command as
given below:
   %tar cvf kumar_at_machine1:/dev/tape/tape0_d1 kumar/
Permission denied.
tar: kumar_at_machine1\:/dev/tape/tape0_d1: Cannot open: Input/output error
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
     I can use /dev/tape/tape0_d1 command on Tru64 machine without
problems.
  
  can I use rsync command to write to tape?
   Thanks in advance,
     Kumar
