Good Day all
Is it possible to create a tar tape from a compressed tar archive file, blah.tar.Z, without the need to extract and write the contents of the compressed archive to disk first? I need to duplicate a tape that I made months ago and disk space is an issue. Besides it's so inefficient.....
I've tried a couple of combinations zcat'ing the archive and end up with the files being written to the directory I am in and nothing going to tape.
I firmly believe that someone out there has the elusive one line command that will do it. Maybe something combined with dd?
I'll summarize this teaser to keep all informed !!
