[SunHELP] vxdump to a windows device

[Henry Buford III]

Given that I live only in the world of NetBackup and I do know that =
vxdump
is also part of one of our products (I honestly don't even know which
product), keep in mind that this answer may not be absolute. =20

I generally give the following rule of thumb:  if backed up in unix, =
restore
in unix.  If backed up in NT/2000, restore in NT/2000.  Even if you use
tar32.exe on an nt box, the tar format will tend to get mangled by the
windows OS.  A windows box can read it, but a unix box can not.  =
Solaris is
also capable of using block sizes that Windows can not handle.  There =
are a
lot of physical factors that tend to make this a bad idea.

Does anyone know how to do a vxdump backup from a Solaris 5.7 server to
an Exabyte 215M tape library connect to a Windows 2000 Server ?
Thanks in advance,
