I hope I am not asking a NewB question, but I read through dump and

allow user intervention to change the tape.
Unfortunately, I believe that is correct, at least for normal tape drives (ones

I've also looked into this (I have a DDS2 autoloader), but unfortunately
dump doesn't support multiple volumes. Because my /, /usr and /var
partitions will fit on one tape, I use dump for those. For everything else
(i.e. large file shares) I just use tar with the -M flag when doing a manual
DDS2 is only 4GB native.

Subject: Re: Dump from cron job, need to change tape
Sorry to repost, but wanted to post
the tape.
I am running a DDS2 tape drive and trying to backup around 12GB. The tape
runs to the end, issues the end of tape, and then dump fails. I would like
to be able to change the tape and get a backup.
Do I need to use some other software, or am I missing a switch or
something

Hi,
I have a Dell PowerEdge server with a RAID 5 and a SCSI tape drive. For the
past two years, the tape drive has worked fine. All of the sudden I get:
DUMP: Date of this level 0 dump: Mon Jun 16 01:00:00 2003
DUMP: Date of last level 0 dump: the epoch
DUMP: Dumping /dev/aacd0s1a
Could be a bad drive, bad tape, bad cable...
Try a new tape and cleaning the drive with a tape cleaning cartridge.
I assume you have rebooted and tried again (just to make sure it wasn't a
hangup)?
Power down the server, and open up the case, look for loose data cables, or
loose
SCSI card

I attached a basic 4mm tape drive (SCSI-2) to my system, which is detected
by the kernel. But mt reports the device(s) are not configured.Here
is dmesg:
sa0 at ahc1 bus 0 target 6 lun 0
sa0: HP C1537A L706 Removable Sequential Access SCSI-2 device
sa0: 10.000MB/s transfers (10.000MHz

Hi,
I need some help setting up a tape backup system. I have two FreeBSD machines

Just a simple yes or no question:
Under 5.1, is the nsa0 device the no rewind tape device, equivalent to
nrsa0 under 4.x?
Background is I'm trying to set up amanda, and tape device is the last
peice of the jigsaw!
Many thanks,
