Good drives and tapes rarely have errors. If you are getting
frequent tape errors you should investigate why; your tapes
and/or drives could be in need of cleaning/repair/replacement.
Since failing drives and tapes don't get better, just worse,
you will be continually adding more workarounds

Is it a real, or theoretical, problem? I.e. has anybody experienced bit errors
in a gzip'ed document? For me the incidence is low enough that I don't feel a
need to use bzip2 for that extra protection. The value of your data may
we had the same problem, we now store the data uncompressed on the tape.
And still get frequent errors.

Hello,

Also, tar+gnuzip gives you alot better compression than the internal
hardware of the drive, at least from what I've read on this list.
This is true but as a friend pointed out to me recently when I was having
some tape reading

from a tape, most likely asll you will lose is the affected file. If OTOH
you get bit errors
