MM/PC Applications: Tape Duplication
Tape duplication in any format. Tapes of any size and format may be duplicated using MMPC...
Irrespective of the type of tape, length and logical format. MMPC has tools to duplicate tapes, either on a tape to tape basis, or via a temporary file on the system's hard disk. The duplicated tape will have identical block sizes and filemarks. However, it is possible to duplicate tapes onto a different media (e.g. DAT to Exabyte) and to select the density and compression of the output.For labelled tapes (in both ASCII and EBCDIC) the labels are monitored, and changed as required, to allow for multi-volume copying, stacking, of single tape to many, many tapes to single tape, or multiple tape to multiple tapes. There is also an option to duplicate a tape which is the middle of a multi-volume set, without changing it's labels.
While duplicating, a log is kept of all block sizes and filemarks, that is then stored in the MMPC log.
When both input and output media allow it, duplication is possible with block sizes greater than 64K, and also dual partition tapes can be duplicated.
Operation is extremely simple, and all
that needs to be selected is the input and output drive, and
output density, which will be given as a choice dependent on
the type of output tape being used.
