Hi,
Just need confirmation and possibly input if I have missed something..
I am backing up my data on my Linux system to a DAT tape drive using tar..
The command I have used is "tar --totals -cvf /dev/st0 /home"..
I think it should be /dev/nst0

I think that would be the same except that it would *not* rewind the tape at the end of the opereation..

Later..
