Just write to it as a regular tape drive. If it's in sequential mode then the autoloader will just swap in the next tape when you get to the end of tape. (That's an autoloader is when it comes down to it - a way of inserting the next tape without manual intervention.) As for what tools to use, then you obviously can't use ufsdump (as you say you're using zfs) which basically restricts you to a tar variant. We split the data up so that we know that each archive fits onto a tape (spanning multiple tapes is ugly). So write an archive; eject the tape; wait a minute; write the netx archive; etc. -- -Peter Tribble http://www.petertribble.co.uk/ - http://ptribble.blogspot.com/ _______________________________________________ storage-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/storage-discuss
