Hi!

I installed a DEC DLT TZ87N on ny DEC3000/300.
It works fine locally.
I Tryed to make remote backup using netcat in his way.
On the machine I Want to backup I Wrote:

tar -b 20 -czf - --dereference /var | /usr/local/bin/nc -v -p 333 shakira 333

on my DEC3000, shakira, this is the command:
/usr/pkg/sbin/nc -w 300 -l -p 333 postino 333 | ( dd of=/dev/st0 obs=10k )

everyting works.
When I go to look in the tape after hte backup:

tar -tv -f /dev/st0
tar: Hmm, this doesn't look like a tar archive.
tar: Skipping to next file header...

I can't explain what's going wrong, perhaps the bloc ksize is wrong?

thanks

Rick
