First, this type of message belongs on -questions, no -stable (redirected). Second, when dumping multiple FS's on a single tape, are you using the non-rewinding device for the tape (/dev/nrst0, I presume)? Third, if you have multiple machines you want to backup to a single tape, you should probably take a look at amanda. It's in the ports collection, and you may first want to read all about it at: http://www.cs.umd.edu/projects/amanda/amanda.html Hope this helps, Nadav To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
