Hello admins...
My box is ;
ES40 model, tru64unix V5.1 OS
I have some (187 pieces..)
CompacTape II
TK50
CompacTape III
tape cartridges which are taken on VMS system.. I want to transfer these
data to new LTO cartridges in tru64unix 5.1 system..
My old DLT 35/70 tape drive is out of order now. It often lits "use cleaning
tape cartridge" led. I have used it to read -at least- compac tape III
cartridges.. According to technical service, its head life exhausted..And
calculated 10270$ cost to mend it..!! (In fact they will replace the inner
part of the tape drive completely..)
I have found DLT 40/80 tape drive (there is no DLT 35/70 drive in HP site)
with 2600$ cost.. But I dont know if I can read my old tape cartridges with
it..!!!
Moreover, I could not use vmsbackup freeware , So I will go with vbackup..
Have you ever experience with vbackup..?
Shortly, Can you guide me to read those tape cartridges..?
TIA..
