NAME

tcopy - Copies magnetic tapes  

SYNOPSIS

tcopy [-cv] [-s max-blocksize] [source] [destination]


 

OPTIONS

Verifies whether the source and the destination tapes are identical after copying the source tape into the destination tape. Verifies whether the source and the destination tapes are identical. Sets the maximum allowed tape block size. The default is 128 Kbytes.
 

DESCRIPTION

If a source and a destination tape are specified then the tcopy command copies the source tape into the destination tape.

If only a source tape is specified then tcopy prints information about the contents of the tape. For each file in the tape, tcopy prints the number of records of each block size. Tape /dev/rmt0h is the default.

The tcopy command assumes that there are two tape marks at the end of the source tape when copying or reading, and two tape marks at the end of both tapes when verifying.
 

EXAMPLES

To copy /dev/rmt0h into /dev/rmt1h, enter: tcopy /dev/rmt0h /dev/rmt1h To obtain information about /dev/rmt1h, enter: tcopy /dev/rmt1h
