Hi, I am a newbie to Backup system on Freebsd.  I just wonder how do I
make back up to the HP Colorado T4000s tape drive?  When I type mt -f
/dev/rst0 fsf 1 , FreeBsd reply :

st0(ahc0:2:0) Illegal Request asc:20,0 Invalid command operation code
st0(ahc0:2:0) Blank Check req 52:1(decimal) asc:0,5 End of data detected

I can't dump any files to the tape drive nor restore.  I just wonder
what the problem is?  And how do I erase previous backup when the tape
is full?  For the incremental backup, how does it work?  I am sorry that
I am really new to the backup system, sorry for all this stupid
questions. :)  I will really appreciate for any help.  Thanks in
advance.

rgd,
Derek
