I can't help with the rest of your query but have one of my own
related to the above...

I regularly make use of the following command to do multi-volume
backups, both on floppy and on ZipDisks, and I assumed the same
would also work on tapes. From what you say above, apparently not,
but can you confirm such to be the case?

Q> cd /tmp/uploads
Q> tar cMvf /dev/sda4 *

Best wishes from Riley.
