vxdump with more tapes

Hi Community,

I've a V440 Sun Server with 2 device tape of 72GB. I have to backup a folder of 80 GB, so I have to use 2 tapes of 72GB (144 GB);

If I use vxdump command which are the options that I have to use?

When the first tape finishes does the system stop the backup?

Please help me soon, it is very URGENT!!!

Thank you very much
