Is there a linux utility that will read RBAK tapes?? - Talk Root - PC Hardware, Software and Web Development forums

I have a bunch of QIC tapes that were made on Apollo machines.
These tapes were created with WBAK. We will be moving the data to CDs
if we can read the tapes. Is there a linux utility that will read
them? Has anyone ported RBAK to Linux?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanx

It's a proprietary format. Have you google'd it ?

I tried google but didn't come up with anything. I was hoping for a
port or a cheat of somekind. The apollo stations have been gone for
years.
