Subject:      help archiving large file from digital Unix to DLT Tape
Comments: To: sas-l@uga.cc.uga.edu

Hello all,

I have a 10 gig compressed file that I am trying to archive to a DLT tape.
I am using Digital Unix.  I need to get this file onto a DLT tape and
transfer to an external client who is using a Silicon Graphics Unix system
or a Sun system.  I am trying to use an archiving utility that we can both
use (remember we have different Unix systems).  For example,  I cannot use
the VDUMP or VRESTORE command because they are Digital Unix utilities (and
they wouldn't be able to read the file on their end).

I have tried the TAR and CPIO Unix commands but I run into the 2 gig file
size limit.  Can anyone offer any suggestions on other archiving utilities
or other software to use?

Thanks a lot.
