Hello, everyone.

I've just signed up so forgive me if my question has already been 
discussed on numerous occasions.

I've just bought an HP Colorado (ATAPI, 8GB) and it works beautifully 
-- or almost.

When I try to tar a smallish directory tree, say 'tar -cvf /dev/ht0 
/home/erik', it works fine, but every time I try 'tar -cvf /dev/ht0 
/' or 'tar -cvf /dev/ht0 *' I get the following error message, which 
to me is as clear as Ancient Aramaic:

Tar: Error exit delayed previous errors

Surely there's a way to backup my whole HD without having to process 
each directory individually?

Erik
