Hi! I'm trying to use tar to backup my files on a tape device. The command tar -c \\.\tape0 x:\dir_to_backup results in the following error message:
tar: cannot open -: bad file descriptor tar: error is not recoverable: exiting now. Everything works if I back up on a normal file: the command tar -c mybackupfile.tar x:\dir_to_backup is succesfull. Tape0 is the right symbolic name of the tape device... How can I use tar to backup on tape?
