Did you ever rewind your tapes? You are using the no-rewind device and I'm not sure what/if tape drivers ensure the tape is rewound when its first loaded. You are specifying the root filesystem only. Is this all you have (meaning /usr, /home, /var, ... are all on a single filesystem)? Or are you also dumping your other filesystems to /dev/nrst0? -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@nospam.hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
