Hi,
I’m starting to create a system for backing up files to DDS tapes.
I’ve seen the Windows tape backup functions in Platform SDK, but that
functions are so hard to understand.
If have someone that worked with that functions, could you send any sample
code, justo to take a look. My system will make incremental backups, but I
still can’t figure out how the files are stored/retrieved in/from the tapes.
Thanks in advance

You must define the format of the tape yourself.

What do you mean with “You must define the format of the tape yourself” ?
Thanks,

The tape API calls in Win32 are used to control, read and write to tape.
There is no native format in the APIs to format the data on the tape. You
must define the layout of the information on the tape yourself.
See MSDN for more information on the tape APIs. COnsider the tape as a file.
There is no natrive format of files, you must define the layout fo the data
in the file yourself; tape is the same. Imagine it as a large file when
using the API interfaces in WIn32.
I hope this helps.
