I use taper to backup files to my tape drive, but how come i cant access it like cdro


Hi,
I backup my files using taper and everything works. I have a scsi tape drive hooked up to an adaptec 2940 scsi card. I cant seem to find the tape drive though when browsing directories. I dont know what directory it would be in. I have samba running also. Say from my client i open up network neighborhood and i begin browsing my server. SHouldnt I be able to drag and drop files from my client straight into my tape drive. I assume the answer is yes, but I have no idea what directory the tape drive is in. Its kind of like the same idea of mounting a cdrom. I can mount the cdrom and then use the servers cdrom from my win2k client.

Does this make sense???



Thanks for your time
Adam
