I have exported a database (~12G in size) to both 8mm Exabyte and an IBM 3490 style cartridge.
The export to 8mm did not go over a single tape.
The 3490 cartridge export ran into 4 cartridges - *but* as far the OS is concerned this was single volume as the 3490 hardware manages the loading of a new volumne when one fills up.
