Dear FBSD - techs..... I have a very serious problem freaking me out and have tried all I know to correct.... if anyone can help me with this "dump and restore" problem I would greatly appreciate it. For the past 18 months I have been making weekly backups for my three network machines using the following command: /sbin/dump 0uaf /dev/nrst0 / (pc with tape drive) /sbin/dump 0uaf 206.48.255.45:/dev/nrst0 / and so on ... The tape backup I use is a Colorado t4000s, the tapes I use are TRAVAN 4/8Gb tapes... Now that I must do a restore for some important files I cannot find a restore command that does not return a "tape read error". So far I am completely unable to even read the tape backups and have been unable to retore anything. If anyone can tell me how to do this properly please let me know as soon as possible. ( I will name my first-born child after you ) Regards -- Quin Taylor System Manager The NetSys Company of Honduras Email: admin@netsys.hn WWWeb site: http://www.netsys.hn Hotline HelpDesk: 566-1055 Tel: 504-566-1055 Fax: 504-566-3183 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
