Ahh... different from what I was thinking. Your problem has nothing to do with the sets or filesystems, actually. The problem you have is that both tapes have the same index number, since the newtape parts happen in parallel (and during same second). Run only the newtape parts sequentially; then you can do the set backups in parallel without any issues. Like this: flexbackup -device /dev/tapes/tape0/mtn -newtape flexbackup -device /dev/tapes/tape1/mtn -newtape flexbackup -device /dev/tapes/tape0/mtn -set DLT80 -level 0 & flexbackup -device /dev/tapes/tape1/mtn -set SDLT320 -level 0 & Optionally put a 'sleep 1' in between the -newtape lines if you still have problems. For the future I'll use a longer/different key, or at the very least make sure -newtape waits a second so the conflicting tape index keys won't ever happen. -Edwin -- Edwin Huffstutler [EMAIL PROTECTED] GnuPG Key ID: AE782DC9 ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by: Free pre-built ASP.NET sites including Data Reports, E-commerce, Portals, and Forums are available now.
