Using Tar command to backup files

by tobej . Updated 25 years, 1 month ago

Hi there,

I have my tape backup working now, and I want to start to use it to backup my files.
Now I have tried to use it but it dosen’t seem to be working quite right for me.
Here is what I have for commands.

tar cv home/*.* > /dev/nst0

The tape backup starts up, then an error says that there is no file and then stops.

Any ideas?

I do know that the tape backup is working, I have the statistics from it and it says that it is working.

Thanks
