Hadn't tried Tar before so I thought I'd get a full vol backup.
I issued the command
    tar cvf /dev/rmt1h /

This was on Sunday and no activity. TAR was running for a good 30 min when
I received the following error mesages:

Tar /proc/0000 : Invalid Argument
                              : Early EOF
                              : Early EOF

I didn't know what to do so I just entered CTRL/C
Also does tar leave a file on root I think it was in DEV directory called
rmt1h, looked like TAR stuff.



Environment:
Dec 8200
TM88 tape drives

Thank you
