Thanks all of you who replyed. I got it working. It now restores the files. One more problem. After it restores the files it appears to continue searching through the tape. It will say: [root@primary /]# tar -xvf /dev/nst0 backup/04_01_98 Date: Tue Apr 7 03:00:11 MDT 1998 *** Volume: localhost:/ Reading Date: Tue Apr 7 03:00:11 MDT 1998 *** Volume: localhost:/ backup/04_01_98 but then the cursor just sits there and the tape continues to run.... I let it run for over an hour (its a 2/4 gig tape) and still it sat. Any ideas?
