Hello, When i try tar cvf /dev/tape to backup my machine, I get: tar: /dev/tape: Wrote only 4096 of 10240 bytes tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
The data should fit on a tape without compression, so I don't think it's a space problem. Can anyone suggest what to do? Also, What command should I use to do incremental backups with tar? Since the u argument only appeared to backup later copies of already exhisting files on the tape and the r argument appended everything again. I would use the N argument but I don't know the date format.
