[http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~jmelski/burt/burt-med.gif] From the home page [http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~jmelski/burt/]: Burt, the backup and recovery tool, is an extension for Tcl/Tk 8.0 designed to perform backups to and recoveries from tapes. A Burt installation consists of the Burt extension module and a set of Tcl/Tk 8.0 scripts to make use of that module to perform backups. Burt can backup virtually any system imaginable because of its integration with Tcl/Tk. At the University of Wisconsin, Madison, Computer Sciences Department, we use Burt to backup about 350 workstations and a substantial AFS filespace, for a total of roughly 750 GB of data. http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~jmelski/burt/ ------------------ ZLM asks: This tool seems to be for Unix only; from the docs: "One important note: Burt does not at this time run on Windows NT. This does not mean that you cannot backup Windows NT machines using Burt; in fact you can do that, easily. However, you cannot use a Windows NT machine to run the Burt engine and serve as your backup host." What are the current possibilities for reading and writing on tapes on Windows?
