Someone suggested that I might not want to test with btape for disk to disk backups. Hence the above errors.

What your guys' thoughts?

I agree.

http://www.bacula.org/rel-manual/Volume_Utility_Tools.html

"This program permits a number of elementary tape operations via a tty command interface. The test command, described below, can be very useful for testing older tape drive compatibility problems. Aside from initial testing of tape drive compatibility with Bacula, btape will be mostly used by developers writing new tape drivers."

Quite specifically: tape.


Cool .. I do not have to abandon it so early into the game. :)


Thanks,

LDB
