I'm not sure, but I think the taper program does that for you. If you
abslutely prefer that everything be .tgz'd or tar-gzipped before being
depositied onto the tape drive I have some bash script that someone from this
list wrote and gave to me that will do that job very nicely and you can grab
all the files from there and place onto your tape drive. Other than that the
taper program should handle all the compression matters for you just fine.
