I'm a Linux person by nature, and was wondering if there was something
similar to the TAR command in Windows? Basically, I don't want to have to
rely on Windows Backup or Remote Storage to move my unused files off my
server to MagTape, plus, incase of emergancy, I've got my handy Linux box
that I would like to be able to use for recovery. Basically, I need
something that I can write directly to the magtap with, even if it means I
have to design a program. I figured this would be the place to start.

Thanks,
Tibby
 
There's a win32 port of Tar at http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/ but it
doesn't support the -z compression option.
For a full-function version you may want to install the Cygwin system
(which'll give you a reasonable penguin system on your Win32 box)
