I am curious as to what the "best" way is to back up to a 8mm tape on a
different machine.  I have found that (for me) tar seems to be the easiest
to use, however, I can't get it to do an incremental backup, and it seems to
choke on some of the "special" files in /dev.  dump/rdump let you me do 
differential backups, but I can only do one per tape?
