How can I tar files from a list?

[nwo4life]

I am creating a list for files with
for file in 'find /spreadsheets/test/* -mtime +90'
do
Echo $file >> list
done
So know I need help archiving the list to tape.

tar cv `cat list` will work fine

mt rewind "to rewind the tape"

tar tv "to check the tape content"

How do I point to a specific tape drive? using
tar cv 'cat list'

Thanks

If you execute "tar cv" uses the default tape device, but if you want specifying it, it would be "tar cvf /dev/rmt/0" or the device you want to target, and then the list of files

another way is "tar cvf /dev/rmt/0 -I list"
