How to span tapes using ufsdump ?

Hi All,

I have an environment in which i take backup of E450 servers(remote
backup) from an ultra 10 system using ufsdump. I am using a 70 GB DLT
tape drive and one 80 GB DLT tape drive connected to the ulta 10. There
is no provision for autoloading. Since the full dump of the servers is
of the order of 200 GB i need to take the backup in 3 tapes.

The command "/usr/sbin/ufsdump 0ucf /dev/rmt/1cn /export1/ " is
used to take the backup. But since the backup spans over 3 tapes i need
to manually load the tape when the system throws this message :

DUMP: NEEDS ATTENTION: Is the new volume (#2) mounted on `/dev/rmt/1cn'
and ready to go?: ("yes" or "no")

Kindly let me know if it is possible to span the backup over tape drives
so that i need not have to manually change the tapes after the end of
each tape.

I have seen the archives of sun managers but it talks of the option "-l"
in the ufsdump command which i do not think is applicable in this
situation as we do not have any autoloader.

Regards
