I have used gnutar to back up to multiple DLT tapes and it works fine.
Check the LEDs on the unit when you're doing a backup. If the "35" and
"Compress" LEDs are not lit, you might have tapes that had been written
with compression off at some point. Rewind the tape, and press the
"Density" button until "35", "Compress", and "Override" are all lit.
Then try the backup again.
