Hi, I just received a sony dds tape drive for our linux server and now I would like to do backups of some data. I have tried with tar but with little success; I can do a tar cvf /dev/st0 /home and it seems to do the job. But I wasn't able to recover a single file from the tape with tar xf /dev/st0 file_to_extract. Could somebody help me with basics steps to backup? A howto would be fine, if there is some! Maybe there is a better way to do! Someone here?
