The -L option in the man page says, "change tapes after writing N*1024
bytes." (Ah, the old days.) So, perhaps you should find a way to change
tapes. Maybe play around with the -F <script> option. This lets you run a
script after each volume. With that script you can rename "backup.tar" to
"backup00.tar", "backup01.tar", etc.
Since the -z option doesn't work with multi-volume tars (taking your word
for it -- but it makes sense), perhaps the script would also run gzip on
them.
