Dragster,

I think Diavlo Backup will do what you want. I haven't tried it yet but also have a DDS2 SCSI DAT Drive sitting around saying use me. ( Model Seagate STD24000N aka. Connor 4324NP)

Cheers

Shaf

Although tar (short for tape archiver) is the dstandard in the Unix world, it has terrible compression. sometimes tarred file will be bigger than the original file.
My suggestion is if using tar to compress the files first before writing to tape.

I usually zip up the files first and then tar them.
The final archive ais referred to as a tarball
