Most likely bad tape or bad tape drive. "out of tape" is just amanda's attempt to explain the failure, but you'll likely find "I/O error" in /var/*/messages. First step is to confirm you can reliably write/read large amounts of data to/from the drive without amanda (just use tar) and reliably move back and forth to multiple files on the tape (using mt). -- Jay Lessert [EMAIL PROTECTED] Accelerant Networks Inc.
