I believe you can specify /dev/rmt0.1 as the device to write your data to
(assuming /dev/rmt0 is the tape drive you're using). My understanding is
rmt0.1 is a non-rewinding alias for the tape drive.

Subject: Differential backups....
I am trying to implement a differential backup of my drives using one tape
per week to house the differentials. I want them stored back-to-back on the
tape but I don't see any way to tell the backup command to do this. I have
looked at the backup level which will do the differential part, but how do I
keep the tape from rewinding each time?
