i can use tar to write backups to the tape, restore and diff doesn't report any differences. could this be some strange afbackup problem? i have afbackup running on 2 other machines with hp dds 2 tape drives and on this machine with sony sdt 9000 dds 3. how come it has that problems with that hp dds 3 drive? yours martin -- GnuPG 1024D/3E8DCCC0 30DC 1D28 1D79 32F5 5E67 3ABB 28EE B35A 3E8D CCC0 work: factline Krisper Fabro Harnoncourt OEG (www.factline.com)
