[SunHELP] make a backupcopy?

[Fletcher, Joe]

HP-UX11 doesn't appear to have an equivalent of tcopy as standard. Tru64
(DEC unix) does if you have any Alphas around. However if you have the HP
Ignite-UX product installed there's a command
copy_boot_tape that will do the job.

Yikes.
Just found out that my DAT-drive on the Sun refuses to talk to me. =(
I've got several HP's here though.

Anyone familiar with HP-UX and copying DAT-tapes? :-)
