Questions re backing up to tape.
1) Which is the correct command tor a full tape backup:
tar cvf /dev/ht0     or    tar cvf /dev/ht0 /
Does it include the "/"?

Does this erase the previous backup on the tape or add it after the previous
archive on tape?

2) How does one exclude the /mnt partition from the backup?

3) To restore, what would be the command?  Does this restore the "system" or
does one also need to re-install to restore a working linux system?

4) how to delete the tape contents?

Thank you.
