Hi everyone,

How do you tar to a remote tape device?

I have a directory /data5/p/tmp on a local box, catdog. This directory
contains about 24 gigs of files (8 files from 1-4 gigs in size). I want to
tar this to another server's tape drive; doggie:/dev/tape/tape0_d1

I tried the following, but it is way too slow:

catdog> rsh doggie dd of=/dev/tape/tape0_d1 | tar cvf - /data5/p/tmp

Any suggestions or advice is appreciated.
