In short I use amanda for my purpose at my place.
I would say it should be possible to use any of these tools, tar, cpio,
dump/restore.
for tar it just easy say
tar cjf /dev/st0 /home/dump/backup
it should write everything from /home/dump/backup directory to tape to
extract
(cd /home/dump/restore; tar xjf /dev/st0 )
it should untar evewrything from tape
it is that easy.
