Example restore > add piano restore > extract You have not read any tapes yet. Unless you know which volume your file(s) are on you should start with the last volume and work towards the first. Specify next volume #: 1 For a simple little file it will take more then an hour. I doubt it has to do with equipment since it does this on every tape device I've ever used but here is the stats FreeBSD 4.0-stable DLT4000 tape drive Fresh tape No compression Is this normal or am I doing something wrong possibly?
