Hi everyone,

Just a question about tape backups.  Is there a way of getting a 
dir/file list of what is on a tape?   Like you'd get with a ls.

Also, what about formating the tapes, is that required?

I've just installed an old archive viper and haven't found a howto or 
much in the man pages for tar or cpio.

I don't want to use bru as I want to back up my win95 machines 
from the linux box.

Thanks,


Pete
