Re: DDS2 - TAPE - BACKUP
I don't know extremely much about SCSI tapes, but I hope this will help..

Do you know about the mt command ? "Magnetic Tape" It's used to control
the tape, rewind it and such.. I think it can switch on hardware
compression no some SCSI tapes.
Go read some documentation about the ftape driver too, it's used for tape
drives attached to the floppydrive port, but it has some general backup
information too.

Well.. I think tar can do the job, but there are also cpio.
