KDat tape format

When KDat formats a tape it writes a single file at the beginning of the tape. This file should only occupy a single tape block. The contents of the file are:

The tape ID is used to locate a file, with the same name, in the $HOME/.kdat folder.

Each of the remaining files on the tape are plain-old tar archives. You should be able to manipulate them directly with GNU tar. Even non-GNU tar should work for non-incremental backups.
