I was wondering if anyone can tell be the best way to duplicate an
Amanda tape on a Linux box.  I will have two identical tape drives.  I
would much prefer to use standard UNIX commands.  The program "tcopy"
would be perfect, but it is not available on Debian, it a google search
indicates that is has problems.
I would think that "dd" could do the trick, but what is the correct
incantation?
