Hello,

I have an HP35480A (sa0) tape drive using 90m tapes and I have a number of
machines that I need to backup every night on this tape. Not whole
file systems, just separate trees on each machine. 

Is there a way to put tars of these trees on the same tape one after
the other and then access and recover them sequencialy?

If I do for example:

mt rewind
mt fsf 1
tar cvz /bin
tar cvz /sbin

tar xvz /dev/nrsa0

I would only be able to recover the last tar archive writen on the tape.
It seems like they are taped one over the other.

any help appreciate.
thank you.
veaceslav.
