Dear Sun managers,

I think this is a classical one:
When I try to append files to a tape backup with tar, it fails, either with
an "I/O error" or a "write error"

I've read that some tape devices don't support tar's appending, so how do
you manage appending files or updating a directory structure to a tape
backup on Solaris, if possible by using Solaris tools...

Thanks in advance for any input.

Eric Voisard
