Here are the results after running -
/sbin/e-smith/db configuration setprop flexbackup erase_rewind_only false

G' Morning all,.(Yawwwnn!) Sorry!
I am using the latest flexbackup (e-smith-backup-1.2.0-11.noarch.rpm)

Tape drive used is a SCSI, DEC TZK11 drive (using a TZK1X-CE (QIC 2.0 gig)
tape).
Controller is Diamond Fireport 40.
