Question problems with tar multivolume
HI there,

I need to backup some files from other pcs.
I want to do it from my backupserver.
I am using Unicon (developed from icon) for programming a backupscript, my BS is Mandrake Linux.

The problem I have is:
I cannot use tar multivolume with dd

the command looks something like this
ssh fileserver 'tar cMf - /file' | dd of=/tapedrive

if I use tar --tape-length with it, dd stops writing after the first tape change, but does not continue.

I tried to mount my files and then do the backup only with tar, but then i got the message: cannot open: permission denied.

I tried to find something in the internet but most have problems with extracting tar files.. I can't even create them.

i'd be glad for any help

thx
