I have several user generating large amounts of data (our Eagle 387Mb is full with much more to come). In trying to get the users to archive there data on mag tape they have complained about the time it takes to tar files. I've tried writing the tapes in streaming mode but the drive spends most of its time respositioning. Has anyone found a way to use the Cipher tape drive in the streaming mode effectively?
