I use the copytape program from comp.sources.unix, and it works
wonderfully. You can do tape-to-tape, or you can save a tape image in a
file, so you can read a tape once, then write forever:
copytape /dev/rst8 some.file
copytape some.file /dev/rst8
copytape some.file /dev/rst8
....
Depending on the volume/deadlines you have, this might be a good choice.
If you have lots of identical tapes to make, you can set this going and
flip tapes as you pass by. I even use copytape on a Sun to duplicate
Apollo cartridges.
