Hi There

I am running SunOS 5.8 Generic_117350-26 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-880
and want to archive on the multiple volumes on the tape.
the filesystem which i am taking for back up is 15gb and and the media
is 24gb compresssed dds3 tape.however when i do
tar -cvf /dev/rmt/0cn /files

after some time i get an error
tar write error: unexpected EOF

now i want to enable the multiple voulmes to take backup
on the maultiple tapes. i tried --multi-volume or -M switch with tar
but that is I think suported on gnu tar.
I suppose -F switch can be used ?s

any help would be really appreciated.

THanks
Byee
