Hello,

 

2013/9/5 <deepak.pal AT wipro DOT com>

Please send some command to test IBM tape backup manually before configuring bacula with it.

 

I want to :

 

1.       transfer some data to ibm tape library disk drives

I do not know what ibm tape disk dirives are, so could you send some info about it, please? 

2.       see it there on disk drive

3.       restore data from disk drives to local / some other place

 

please share some commands…!

 

 

If this is a tape drive you should have a tape drive device on your Linux (right?) OS. So you can use a 'tar' command (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tar_(computing)) for archive or restore some files on tape. The most basic example:

# tar cvf /dev/nst0 /home

 

best regards
