Date: 15 Nov 1996 23:13:11 GMT Organization: Grand Valley State University Lines: 15 Message-ID: <56ite7$fjh@news.gvsu.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: river.it.gvsu.edu X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL0] Xref: euryale.cc.adfa.oz.au comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc:31076 comp.os.linux.misc:141925 Hi all, I'm curious if I can back up something on my Linux machine at home onto a QIC-80 tape, and bring it to work and restore it onto our FreeBSD box. The man page to 'ft' on FreeBSD seems to suggest that it uses a proprietary format to the tapes... or does that only refer to the fact that you can't bring tapes between DOS and FreeBSD?
