I am too lazy to walk to the server room to test it with a tape, but when you write 1 file to tape with tar, and after that another, I guess you just overwrite the 1st or if they are both on the tape, you have to spool around.

Maybe it is more practical to just include all files and dirs you want to backup to tape into 1 tmp directory or give them as parameter to 1 tar and write them to tape in 1 archive instead of one after each other.
