ufsrestore on x86 can read sparc dumps and viceversa.
IIRC, long ago that was not the case and it was fixed by some
ufsdump/ufsrestore patches.

The utfsdumps, which most of the tape files are, work perfectly. You
can even restore them with "restore" in Linux. It's the other stuff
(the two samples) that are wierd and probably not utfsdumps. Besides
ufsdump, tar and cpio, anyone out there have an idea on what other
backup techniques were in vogue on Solaris 1999-2001?

NetBackup or Legato???
