hello,

tar problem
===========
i just encountered a problem with the tar command.
on my du4.0d i made a cold backup of an oracle database. when resoring the
data from tape i noticed that the suid and sgid were not stored to tape
and after the recovery i had to set them by hand again.

the online docu does not tell anything about suid or sgid bits.

my questions are:
  1. is that a festure or a bur - is there a workaround
  2. which other tools do have this feature/bug (cpio, dump, ...)
  3. which tool for backing up oracle dbs do you prefer.


mt problem
==========
on du4.0d i tried to make store several tar archives to one tape. to do so
i made the first tar at the beginning of the tape then i wanted to
position the tape at the end of written data on tape. although i tried
several times i could not figure out how that is done and how one can
navigate through different files on tape

can anybody please explain and/or give an example?


thank you for your help
