SUMMARY of Multiple Saves on 1/4" or exabyte tape

1. Thanks to all who responded I was convinced that it should
work and YES IT NOW DOES WORK.

2. Seems that something funny was happening in the scsi interface I
presume because after a reboot all is OKAY.

3. By the way it appears that the "r" option to tar can be used
on the exabyte . This is preferrable for special saves that we
do but I'll continue with the multiple save sets for deadfiling.

4. I have a summary of replies with helpfull advice on this topic
should anyone whatit. Email me and I'll send a copy to you.

Thanks again to all,
