One way we create backups is using pax. Recently, one of our service
engineers tried to do a backup to a zip drive, but couldn’t complete it
because there wasn’t enough memory on the zip drive. However, he did notice
new files being created named sw882B66.001, sw882B66.002, sw882B66.003,
sw882B66.004, and sw882B66.00x. We inspected them, but they seemed to be
binary files. Are these temporary files created by pax?

You could pass the pax output through freeze or gzip to
compress it, and then pass that output through vol.
“vol” should work with Zip disks.
