Re: Backup on Unix and restore on NT?

I just had to say, not completely SOL...There is the tennis shoe interface. ;-)

My solaris 2.7 box reads nt formatted floppies. Both my nt box and my solaris box both read CDs. You would need a CD burner for the really big things in life, but you might as well go to the effort of networking the 2 together if you need to do file transfers more frequently than not.
FTP is a lot quicker..
cheers,
