Solaris 8 to Linux dump compatibility question

Hi, I don't know if anyone knows the answer to this but here goes...

I have a user that's leaving and wants to take 38gb of data and
reports with her to her new job. That's OK but they are using
Linux and we have Solaris here. They have DDS4 tape drives and
so do we. Will x86 Linux read tapes made by /usr/ccs/bin/dump or
/usr/sbin/ufsdump from Solaris 8 SPARC? I want to re-use her
hard drives after she has left so I need to know that her data
will be transportable.

Regards,

Nick
