The supplied /etc/rdump seems to work ok, but when I try to do a /etc/rrestore -t I get ". not on tape" and the program quits. My rdump command was: "/etc/rdump 0ubdsf 50 54000 7000 host:/dev/nrst0 /dev/hd36" [Yes, an Exabyte] rrestore command was: "/etc/rrestore -tbf 50 host:/dev/nrst0 Any ideas out there? Sure would like to back up this machine. -- Dan reading@cs.utah.edu reading@cs.utah.edu
