NAME

6       tcopy - copy a magnetic tape
7

SYNOPSIS

9       tcopy source [destination]
10
11

DESCRIPTION

13       The  tcopy  utility  copies the magnetic tape mounted on the tape drive
14       specified by the source argument. The only assumption  made  about  the
15       contents of a tape is that there are two tape marks at the end.
16
17
18       When  only  a source drive is specified, tcopy scans the tape, and dis‐
19       plays information about the sizes of records and tape files. If a  des‐
20       tination  is  specified,  tcopy makes a copies the source tape onto the
21       destination tape, with blocking preserved. As it copies, tcopy produces
22       the same output as it does when only scanning a tape.
23
24
25       The tcopy utility requires the use of Berkeley-compatible device names.
26       For example,

28         example% tcopy /dev/rmt/1b /dev/rmt/2b
