RE: Tape Configuration.
Posted in 1999
We have things running fine with TAPEDEV \\\\.\\TAPE0
The case is the only difference.
If all you want is to change logging, set TAPEDEV to NUL in your onconfig.
You may have problems doing an archive (you really must do an archive!!!)
You can run the archive to a disk file. Create the file somewhere and set
TAPEDEV to d:\\directory\\filename or you may want it on another server
with disk and a share setting TAPEDEV
\\\\server\\sharename\\directory\\filename
