This procedure costs nothing but may require some effort on your part. The procedure assumes your files are NOT already in tar format and that you wish to ftp files to disk on a local machine and then save the files to tape. If your files are already in tar format, please cf other question (“How can I write a tar file in UniTree to tape without untarring the file on disk?) • Stage Relevant Files in UniTree Staging Unitree Files FAQ question #1 • Put “msscmd” on your Local Machine Unitree Tricks FAQ question #6 • Bring Files from UniTree to Disk Get all your files off of UniTree in two commands.
