[SunHELP] Backupss, how to organize?

Hi,

now that I seem to get more and more data, I'm looking to use some kind 
of backup strategy on my suns.
Two questions are really bugging me:
- how to do an incremental backup? In MS-DOS I'm used to reset the archive
  bit so I can see what I need to backup for the next incremental. How do
  you handle this in SunOS/Solaris?
- how do you backup filesystems that are larger that the tapesize? If you
  tar,  does it prompt for a second tape?
Or should I use cpio or something else for backups?

Any good pointers?

Cheers,

Maarten
