I have about 300MB of data that I'd like to put on a couple of 150MB SUN tapes.
Is there an archiving utility (like tar) which can be used to do this?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Try /dev/rmt3.5 or /dev/rmt/3.7 instead of /dev/rmt3. Altough I am
not quite sure, /dev/rmt3.5 works by 'No Rewind' and 'No Retension',
and /dev/rmt3.7 works by 'No Reiwind' and 'With Retension'. Probably
you may need to key in tar command each time for each archive. But I
hve never used these faciliteis.
