DLT Tape

[Carter Jay]

Hello,

I 've got a few questions concerning Backup Tapes:
1 . How can I check what's on a tape (mt + tar||frecover||cpio????), and what's for you the best way to perform this?
2 . I've tried to put 2 tar archives on one tape, using for the first time:

#mt rew
#tar cvf - / | compress>/dev/rmt/c4t4d0BESTn
The second day, I used:
#mt rew \* To be sure*#mt eod \* To be sure*#tar cvf - / | compress>/dev/rmt/c4t4d0BESTn
Then , to look at what' on my tape:
#mt rew
#uncompressI had the first listing...Then
#mt fsf 1
#uncompressstdin: not in compressed format
Tar: blocksize = 0; broken pipe?
As if i was at the end of the second file and so it couldn't find a tar.

3 . How can I find the date a tar was created (using "uncompress
Could you help

Thanks in advance

Regards

Jerome
