That appears to be a problem with your device links. Please ensure that your tape drive is attached, and then use "cfgadm" to configure it. Read the cfgadm and cfgadm_scsi manpages for more details. You might also need to run "devfsadm -i st" > While if I make entries in st.conf > I am able to tar files in tape drive and able to restore also. Ah, on reviewing the source http://src.opensolaris.org/source/xref/onnv/onnv-gate/usr/src/uts/common/io/scsi/targets/st_conf.c#1760 I see that the driver is looking for a different identification string than what your tape drive is providing. In that case, yes you will need the st.conf entry. > Now I have two more quarries > Why I am getting unexpected token at line 80 error Because you have a word on line 80 which is not expected by the driver.conf parsing routines.

Once I got past the vagueness of your question, I remembered that there are two basic ways to do cross-OS backup and restore. These are to use tar, or cpio. Of these two, I strongly recommend you use cpio unless you can find an implementation of Joerg Schilling's "star" for MS-Windows. You will need to use the Cygwin version of cpio on MS-Windows. > James can you please send me how to of amanda http://www.amanda.org provides all the information you need to use amanda. James C.
