If you are using a POSIX shell on Win95, you may use
star -C fromdir -cM . | star -C todir -xp
Both star's will use a FIFO to buffer data and this will result in
4 star processes. I do even backups to remote tapes on a UNIX machine
using:
cd /; star -cM bs=63k . f=user@host:/dev/rmt/0cbn
Note that this will work with star on win95 but does not work with GNUtar.
Important to know is that if you are using pipes, you need to have POSIX
pipes when using POSIX programs. bash from Cygwin creates POSIX pipes.
