- Hi,
- I want to do multiple tars onto one tape. Say a tar of all my files this
- week and another one next week and still be able to restore the files from
- either archive at some later date. This is what I've tried.
- tar -cvf/dev/rmt0.1 *
- tctl -f/dev/rmt0.1 rewind
- tctl -f/dev/rmt0.1 fsf 1
- tar -cvf/dev/rmt0.1 *
- At this point I get a tar error message about invalid parameter passed to system.
- Or some such nonsense. Can anyone tell me how I really should do this ?
-
- Thanks muchly in advance.
- Samantha Lane.
