Don't think anything that drastic is required. John, you should have specified "file" number 3 from your restore command, not 2, as you went past the end-of-file with your mt eom command. Try something like this (using csh): foreach fs ( / /usr /var /home /foobar ) dump 0udsbf 12000 64000 126 /dev/nrst0 $fs end (Sorry, my SunOS days are showing) chmod 755 and move it to /backup. Then, put in a clean tape, type /backup and go to bed. To restore, restore -ivf /dev/nrst0 After you quit restore, it will move the tape to the start of the next file, where another restore can be done. When at the end, a mt offline will eject the tape. Hope this helps and tapes are a little tricky to learn at first.. Greg. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
