I have recently got hold of a EXABYTE 8200 and know how to save and retreive
a single backup from the tape. I have 2 questions.

(1) How do I save another backup on a tape that is not full along 
    with the first without overwritting it?

(2) How do see what and how many backups are on a tape? or am I out of luck
    unless I put a paper label on it.
