I have just subscribed to this list for two reasons. One is that I have just discovered FlexBackup and the other was to ask for some help with a problem that I have managed to solve myself between subscribing to the list and receiving the welcome message. This is known as Sod's Law!
Just in case anyone has a similar experience: I have set $type = 'afio'. I tried a number of backups level 0 and level 1 starting each tape with -newtape. I could not, however, get a TOC listing to work. Each time I received a message - ERROR: No index on tape (or similar). I had previously set $blksize = '0' and $mt_blksize = '0' and this turned out to be the problem. Setting $mt_blksize = '10240' cured the problem. I'm using a DAT drive for backups. A jolly useful and full featured backup utility. I shall continue to play.
