User Reviews

  • Does not really work with tapes. I got always this: WinTar.TarTapeException: CreateTapePartition [87] Trying "tapecopy", downloaded from www tecno-notas.com winnt htm works. This is really a pitty, because it would be much easier just to use Wintar without additional commands like mt or tapecopy or even with other commercial tape drive software.
  • Great stuff.
