Hi Peoples,
I'm trying to dump from an Amanda tape onto the hard-drive by not using Amanda. This is probably a "you don't know how to use tar properly" question but:
#mt -f /dev/rmt/0n status
Vendor 'SONY ' Product 'SDX-300C ' tape drive:
sense key(0x6)= Unit Attention residual= 0 retries= 0
file no= 0 block no= 0
#mt -f /dev/rmt/0n rewind
I'm obviously doing something wrong here cause the command:
#dd if=/dev/rmt/0n bs=32k skip=1 | /usr/local/bin/tar -cv -f /export/output.tar
/usr/local/bin/tar: Cowardly refusing to create an empty archive
The tape only has about 2GB of compressed data on it so it's not huge...
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Gordon.
