Appending tp LTO 4 media



Good morning Blu,

        We purchased a HP LTO 4 to store image files for long term storage I 've  training myself how to move the directories over .



tar -czf /dev/st0 /directory copy
tar -tvf /dev/st0 > tape.list list of the tape 

tar xvf /dev/st0 090203     restore a directory


I 'm not sure how to append to the existing tape ? 

Do you need to move to the end of the data - <mt -f/dev/st0 eod> 

Then 

tar -czf /dev/st0 /directory copy

Determine available space left on the tape
