Thread: Move a tar to a tape drive?

-

sorry posting seems should pretty straight forward. couldn't find solution , thought try here.

trying backup , nfs share magnetic tape drive. tape drive not hook directly nfs server, plugged server has scsi port. cannot tar -czf /dev/st0 share server hooked tape drive because of permissions.

have done tar share nfs server , copied backup server tape drive. (this done daily through scripting). now, here problem, need copy tarball onto tape cannot find command work. tried straight cp the_backup.tar.gz /dev/st0 , not work. work if extracted tar directory , compressed again tar -czf /dev/st0 /extracted_directory.

ideas of command put compressed tar ball onto magnetic tape drive?

my rather distant recollections of using tape devices, both local , remote, suggest devices each have own set of quirks , usable commands. might able dd tarball, rather expect tar (or package drive uses 'local' command) may way stuff tape.
there might mileage in getting share content via pipe tar command, , thence tape. seem remember remote version of tar (this might tried, cannot remember command, , don't have documentation).
