I don't have a local tape drive, so I performed a backup with "rdump" that appeared to go perfectly From the BSD box, I did: rsh gcunix mt -f /dev/rst9 rewind rdump 0uf gcunix:/dev/rst9 / (gcunix is a SunWorkstation. I'm using a 8mm Data Cartridge tape) However, when I try to rrestore rsh gcunix mt -f /dev/rst9 rewind rsh gcunix mt -f /dev/nrst9 fsf 1 /sbin/rrestore -ivf gcunix:/dev/nrst9 However, it keeps giving me the following errors, after the rrestore command: Verify tape and initialize maps read: I/O error tape read error: Unknown error: 4294967295 Any help will be greatly appreciated. Please respond to: torres@gc.maricopa.edu. Thanks, Frank --
