I've been using tar to back-up my file system to my tape drive using the following command tar -cvf /dev/sa0 /home /etc which works fine. Whenever i run the command tar -tvf /dev/sa0 the system usualy lists a few file then stops with the error tar: Unrecognised archive format: Inappropriate file type or format I'm using the latest RC6.2 I've never had this problem before....... --------------------------------- The all-new Yahoo!
