Your command should be `info tar`: "Use `--multi-volume' (`-M') on the command line, and then `tar' will, when it reaches the end of the tape, prompt for another tape, and continue the archive." Guy Mike Almogy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi list. > I keep getting tar: cannot write to /deb/...

Hi list. I keep getting tar: cannot write to /deb/... write I/O error. After reading some articals about this i think it is due to inaficient storage device. I have 25 GB drive and i backup it up with 24GB tape. So my question is, how do i tell tar to wait to additional tape ? Thanks, Mike =
