I've been using tar to back-up my file system to my tape drive using the
following command
tar -cvf /dev/sa0 /home /etc
which works fine.
Whenever i run the command
tar -tvf /dev/sa0
the system usualy lists a few file then stops with the error
tar: Unrecognised archive format: Inappropriate file type or format
I'm using the latest RC6.2
I've never had this problem before.......
