I am trying to archive this directory for backup purposes. I am getting
this error when trying to create a new tar file. 

Solisix/
flipnode@solid$ su
Password:
flipnode@solid# tar -c Solisix/
tar: /dev/sa0: Cannot open: Operation not supported
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

What is wrong? Permissions? I am root..
