Just to be sure, I would try the following: # tar -tz -f /dev/nst0 I personnaly do not use gzip compression because my DDS tape drive does hardware compression. And if the compressed file is corrupted, your entire archive is unreadable and you can't recover any file at all. I don not use the archive-host trick, I simply run BackupPC_tarCreate: # sudo -u backuppc /usr/bin/BackupPC_tarCreate -h <hostname> \ # -n -1 -s <data_set> / > /dev/nst0 Works rather well. -- Vincent ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
