I've been tinkering with my disklist entries. Right now, I'm using the following setup to split a very large filesystem into a few manageable chunks: # Special large directories kanga.honeypot.net /usr/share compressed-tar-with-excludes -1 local kanga.ho

I manually tarred stuff onto a blank tape and was able to successfully read the tar back off the tape. The commands issued were something along the lines of: # Plop in a tape % mt -f /dev/nst0 rewind % dd of=/dev/nst0 blah blah blah..fake tape header^D % mt -f /dev/nst0 rewind % mt -f /dev/nst0 fs

Another observation I noticed while examining the backups from 3-4 days ago. It appears that the first tape does contain data. The only spot that doesn't have data is file 1. The tape header is there, file n >= 2 appear to all contain backups. This would explain why the subsequent tapes may
