5695.0. "What format is the NT backup ?" by 45862::16.194.208.3::ANONYMOUS% () Thu Feb 13 1997 11:11

Just installed NT4 on my PC. I dound that it has a backup utility that 
works fine with my old Tandberg 3820 (QIC 525).

Is the tape format compatible with any other tape program or is it an 
MS-own-brand ?

thanks

Alan

	Windows NT backup was written by Arcada Software ( now owned by Seagate ).
The data format is not compatible with any standard format. Microsoft does
publish a specification of the tape format.
