Hello and thanks for your reply! Below is an extract from the backup-script. These are the only places where cpio is used in the script, once for writing and once for verifying. I can't see where cpio would write to /dev/tty, but I might miss something. Please tell me my mistake if you see it. BACKUP_FILES="/" IGNORE_FILES="/c/\|/usr/local/squid/cache/\|/usr/spool/news/\|/proc/" BACKUP=backup_all LOG=/usr/local/etc/$BACKUP.log TAPE=/dev/rst0 find $BACKUP_FILES -depth -print 2>>$LOG | grep -v $IGNORE_FILES | cpio -oB -H newc 2>>$LOG > $TAPE cpio -itvB -H newc >/dev/null 2>&1 < $TAPE Thanks for your time!
