Ok this time I kept bconsole open when I retried everything and this is what I got: 26-Mar 11:11 amanda-dir: No prior Full backup Job record found. 26-Mar 11:11 amanda-dir: No prior or suitable Full backup found in catalog. Doing FULL backup. 26-Mar 11:11 amanda-dir: Start Backup JobId 1, Job=Amanda.2007-03-26_11.11.08 26-Mar 11:11 amanda-sd: Wrote label to prelabeled Volume "BRT000" on device "Drive-1" (/dev/nst0) 26-Mar 11:37 amanda-sd: Amanda.2007-03-26_11.11.08 Error: block.c:569 Write error at 4:13879 on device "Drive-1" (/dev/nst0). ERR=Input/output error. * 26-Mar 11:37 amanda-sd: Amanda.2007-03-26_11.11.08 Error: Re-read of last block OK, but block numbers differ. Last block=75877 Current block=75879. 26-Mar 11:37 amanda-sd: End of medium on Volume "BRT000" Bytes=4,895,170,560 Blocks=75,879 at 26-Mar-2007 11:37. So it sppears that I'm getting an I/O error that I don't entirely understand. The odd thing is it happens at different points. I'm guessing media? maybe it it just a bunk tape? ... I'll try a different tape and see if I have the same issues I guess. Unless anyone can tag this error to a specific issue :-) Thanks! -- Lonny -- "To mess up a Linux box, you need to work at it; to mess up your Windows box, you just need to work ON it." ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
