The following script works for me: #!/usr/local/bin/bash NTAPE=3D"/dev/nrsa0" TAPE=3D"/dev/rsa0" MT=3D"/usr/bin/mt" DUMP=3D"/sbin/dump" CAMCONTROL=3D"/sbin/camcontrol" =46ILESYSTEMS=3D"/ /var /backup" echo "Rewinding the tape" $MT -f $TAPE rewind echo "Starting the backup" for fs in $FILESYSTEMS do $DUMP -0au -f $NTAPE $fs done echo "Rewinding the tape" $MT -f $TAPE rewind echo "Ejecting the tape" $CAMCONTROL eject sa0 > I have a SCSI DAT drive (DDS2) if that makes any difference to it's > appendability.
