My box runs under FreeBSD 3.4 : FreeBSD myserver.ru 3.4-STABLE FreeBSD 3.4-STABLE #0: Sun Dec 26 02:20:04 NS 1999 root@myserver.ru:/usr/src/sys/compile/myserver i386 I use HP Travan 4000s for backup. For this purpose I use the shell script: #!/bin/sh /usr/bin/chflags -R nodump /usr/obj /usr/src /usr/swap0 /tmp /usr/local/samba/gang /usr/local/etc/squid/cache /usr/lost+found /usr/bin/mt erase /usr/bin/mt rewind /sbin/dump -a -0 -h 0 -u -f /dev/nrsa0 / /sbin/dump -a -0 -h 0 -u -f /dev/nrsa0 /var /sbin/dump -a -0 -h 0 -u -f /dev/nrsa0 /usr This script works fine. At least, it seems like the tape drive writing tape. The last backup was done at 21 december 1999. When I had tried to restore yesterday I received error message : bash$ mt rewind bash$ restore -if /dev/nrsa0 tape read error: Input/output error bash$ For test purpose I made another backup on the same tape today. Restore command starts to work fine with this tape now. But other tapes with earlier backups still not working. I try to read these 4 tapes under other Linux box using other HP Travan 4000s but 3 tapes can't be read with the same error. Tape #4 with the today's backup has been read fine. Why I can't read 3 tapes with backups that were written 21 December 1999 and earlier?
