If you have four file systems a,b,c,d and use backup to rmt0.1 for a,b,c (no rewind) and then rmt0 for d to rewind on close, watch out. The bug forces a rewind on open of d, not close, and and overwrites a,b,c. It has been reported (7X500) and is supposed to be fixed in 3007. To get around it, I use rmt0.1 for a,b,c,d and use "tctl rewind" on completion. -- Paul MacMurdo Bellcore pim@iscp.bellcore.com 908-699-5909
