Hi Erwan, I know you've probably tried most of this. Checking back on your mail of 5 May, I see: /dev/nst0: Input/output error
There is nothing flexbackup can do until that is sorted. What blocksize does mt status report on a clean boot? Can you run a simple tar to the drive? mt -f /dev/st0 status mt -f /dev/st0 rewind tar cf /dev/nst0 /etc mt -f /dev/st0 rewind tar tf /dev/nst0 Try manually setting the blocksize to the same as what you're using in the script. "mt -f /dev/st0 setblk 1024" and use $mt_blksize = "1024"; Niall ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: NEC IT Guy Games.
