I'm not sure which device to use. When I issue the command: tar cvf /dev/rst2 * I get a 'can't open /dev/rst2 : Bad file descriptor'. My tape is dev 2, so at least the number in the device should be correct. Is there something else I should look into? I have been looking for this one in the faq. Regards, Marc van Kempen
