Any ideas ?? restore tf /dev/rst0 If you used a block size when you dumped, use it with restore: restore tbf 64 /dev/rst0 > Also I am using a density of 61000 as an argument for the dump > command.

I wouldn't use the density argument because it's intended to help dump find the end-of-tape on devices that don't indicate end-of-tape. But your HP DAT drive certainly can detect end-of-tape. So, use the B option to specify a huge number of blocks. Before I started using Amanda for dumps, I used this command: dump 0nubBf 64 999999 /dev/nrst0 and put each filesystem for a host on a single tape. -- Sean Kelly NOAA Forecast Systems Laboratory kelly@fsl.noaa.gov Boulder Colorado USA http://www-sdd.fsl.noaa.gov/~kelly/
