I am running SCO 5.0.7. When I try do a tar from the root level to tape:

tar cvf /dev/rct0 ./ACCOUNT

I get message= tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

I am not trying to compress the data or do anything else with it other than write it to tape. I researched and all references I find have to do with zip, gzip, untar, etc.

The tape drive is a 4MM 12/24G with block size of 1024.

Can someone please help me determine what is causing this error?
