When tar writes an archive to tape, it creates a single tape
file. If multiple archives are written to the same tape, one after the
other, they each get written as separate tape files. When extracting,
it is necessary to position the tape at the right place before running
tar. To do this, use the mt command. For more
information on the mt command and on the organization of tapes
into a sequence of tape files.
