After using Taper utilities the backup looks good.
Taper too several hours working on the tape - but it was worth it.
This is the auto backup using the e-smith console settings. Autobackup time:
4:00 am.
I guess we should prepare all tapes with Taper before using........perhaps?
Thanks for the input, guys.
Here is the cron daemon report:
