Hy to everybody, thank you in advance for any help. my hardware, lines out of dmesg: hdd: Seagate STT8000A, ATAPI TAPE drive ide-Tape: hdd<->ht0, 600kBps, 14x26kB buffer, 2600kB pipeline, 310ms tDSC, DMA my environment variable: TAPE=/dev/ht0 executing the following statements: # init s # cd / # tar -cv ./* is showing a very long list (aprox 30 Minutes for 1GB) but it ends with the message: tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors But this was the first and only message. My questions: 1 what is the correct reaction to avoid this error message? 2 is there a better/other way to backup the whole drive? 3 how can i check, if there are all files backed up? 4 how can i get the manpages to the command tar (i have no from SuSE 6.1) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Mit freundlichen Gr��en, Alfred Frank - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
