I've got an online 7.20 database sitting on an NT box that doesn't have a tape drive. It sits right next to an HP 9000 with tape drive (where our production online 7.22 database sits). I can talk from one database to the other, ftp between machines, etc. But when I try to do an archive from the NT box, using the HP drive (using the syntax from the manuals -- TAPEDEV = beech:/dev/rmt/0m) I get a "could not write archive tape." message. Can this be done?? or am I just wasting my time trying to have NT talk to Unix? TIA, Tom Grenier, Biztravel.com
