I'm trying to setup a simple cron backup. Here's the script as it is:
ftmt -f /dev/nqft0 reten
tar czvf /dev/nqft0 /
ftmt -f /dev/nqft0 rewind
which isn't working because the tape keeps filling, with this error:
[167] 0 ftape-rw.c (skip_reverse) - Still at EOT while reverse
seeking :-(.
[168] 0 fdc-isr.c (determine_progress) - Error "overrun" at 101897/13.
[169] 0 ftape-write.c (ftape_write_segment) - write error, retry 1
(101897).
I'm thinking that my tar command isn't right, that is, that it isn't
overwriting the previous archive that is on the tape (which will be one
week old). Can anyone suggest a change to fix this, or paste other backup
scripts (even more complext ones). The drive is a Ditto Max.
