Pity about that. I've been using an onstream drive for backups for about 3 years now without a single failure.

well it seemed like a bad idea to commit ourselves to using a backup drive for which buying new tapes would probably not be possible, plus if the drive bit the dust, we wouldnt have access to any of our backups. It seemed like a really nice drive. I was hoping they'd recover, but doesnt look like it.
BTW,
how do i rejoin the tar files?
I might approach this differently. Right now i have one machine which is acting a backup server. I have a few other machines which mount to a directory on the backup server. To avoid this 2gb limit (upgrading nfs on multiple machines all running different version of redhat doesnt seem feasible :) i think i might mount all the machine directories directly on the backup server, and run tar from there. That'll avoid the file size limitation since i wont be writing to an NFS mount that way.
