No, I think that is in KB, so 5.37 GB was written at the time of the error. I think the difference in that number and the earlier part of the report, 4.59 GB is that the smaller number is "successfully written", i.e. complete dumps while the larger is total written including the incomplete dump in progress at the time of the error. > > I don't see anything in /var/log/messages around the time of this backup, so > I suppose > I'll have to run another with the express purpose of hunting for fresh log > results... :) I think that is the proper approach. You seem to have most other bases covered. Sounds like some form of hardware situation (head cleaning, cableing, terminator, ...) Look for scsi messages too. -- Jon H.
