My 2.2.5R box performs dumps just fine on the > 8200, as said without doing an mt erase. I do not use Amanda though Correct. I do not _have_ to do the 'mt erase'. In fact I never do. However... 'mt erase' does not work... and my backup locks up. These are seperate but related issues. Bottom line is _it don't work_. I have tried just about every termination I can think to try. Different cables, different controller (still a 2940) and a different tape drive. It still doesn't work. So something is wrong. Options anyone? -Steve
