I gave up tar and uucp for pax which has more configurability and to us seems to do a better job of being sure the stuff is on the tape correctly and being sure it comes back off the tape as needed. I believe there to be a bug in uucp on freebsd - restores would frequent have parts of other files at the top of the restored file, etc - like there is a pointer slippage somewhere.
