Manipulation DAT tapes on linux

[Phillip Qin]

Treat it like a usual tar command. I don't think you can get the usage.

Subject: [TLUG]: Manipulation DAT tapes on linux


Hi,

	I have a 4mm DDS-150 tape in linux and I was wondering if someone
can answer 
this questions.
	
	is it possible to extract selected file or files from an archive
without 
extracting all the data from the tape?

	is it possible to add a directory with files to a tape archive?
(tape has an 
existing data on it)

	is it possible to get the tape usage?	

	what i usually do is tar -cvf /dev/st0 ..... .... ....

	

TIA,
