If you are on windows, you can use windows backup which can write
directly to any tape drive it has installed.  Assuming this person has a
compatible tape drive he can import the tape (takes a while) and restore
the data.

If you want someone without NetBackup to access the files, use tar, dd,
or cpio.  I am assuming you are on a Unix box.

All - Wondering if I can archive a few large directories to tape,
assuring that someone without NetBackup would be able to access the
files.  Basically I need to mail someone their 500g home directory. I
have searched docs and the list and found nothing relatied to this, but
if it is there and I searched poorly, apologies.
