- Hi folks,
-
- We are the unfortunate(?) possessors of one of Sun's 1/4" tape drives, and
- wonder if there is any way to add data to a tape that already has stuff on
- it. tar's "a" and "u" options seem to work with everything but this drive.
-
- Also, does anyone out there know the density and number of tracks of DC6250
- and DC600 tapes? I can only find info about the DC6150 (it's getting
- irritating to use up 150MB tapes for 20 MB worth of backup.)
-
- Thanks in advance,
-
- Dave
