dd was pretty common into the early 90s, as was mt. dd is pretty simple for copying,  while mt is more useful for moving around within a tape and reading parts of the file. 

man dd

is the easiest way to learn more. It's not very hard,  in fact the hardest thing sometimes is getting the name of the tape device correct, like /dev/rst0 vs /dev/nrst0 etc.

Both commands should work for anything from 12" round tapes onwards.

Hi

I've not done that for decades...
segyread/segywrite for SEGY-data
maybe dd (with the help of mt) for any kind of data ?

I can't test, sorry.

Hello,

Please, does anyone know which commend I can use to copy seismic data from tape to tape?

Thanks

Ola Roxo,

    Trabalhei dando suporte para Sr, na  Petrobras.  E trabalho atualmente com uma grande gama de profissionais que o Sr. Trabalhou.

    Agora trabalho com padronização de dados sísmicos em conjunto com a Gerencia do Aquino.

    Venho acompanhado os o e-mail do grupo. 

    Estou implantando Seismic unix aqui em nossa infraestrutura. 

    Há trabalho com João Francisco(Tio).

    Espero poder ajudar a comunidade e também possivelmente precisarei de ajuda.

  Hi Dominique, I gave a try to R22 as well and got exactly the same
problems I got with R21.  The same circumvention I used with R21
"fixed" the build of R22.

  As with R21, I was unable to run 'make sfinstall' and got the same error.

  All the best.
