There are a couple of other possibilities: Is tar on the OP system actually GNUTar? On *Linux* systems it generally is, but I am not certain about *commercial* UNIX systems... Does the disk spec in the disklist file contain wildcards? tar ... --one-file-system /storage/* will backup both disks (and no others mounted under them).
