Have you tried the included "Backup and Restore" tool:
start->control panel->backup and restore They disabled that in 2008r2 (but you could enable it with a load of registry teaks. They then removed it in 2012 onward saying "support for legacy hardware is no longer included".
One of many reasons I have no windows servers in production use. On 10/08/17 01:48, Carlos E. R. wrote:

There is tar in Cygwin and also the new Linux in Windows 10. But the idea is to find out if the devices work properly in native Windows. If they fail with Cygwin you prove nothing.
That is a good point. I guess it would prove that the windows driver is working but it might fail in the emulated linux environment. I will try this anyway to see what happens. In the meantime is there a free bit of windows software to write to tape? Paul -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
