    Hi admins,
     
    Its about one month that we can not do the backup even after changing 4 or 5
    times the tape device
    and the usage of cleaning tape.
     
    Here the typical result of the backup command
     
    mt -t /dev/rmt/1m rew
    tar cvf /dev/rmt/1m /
    a /etc/lvmtab 31 blocks
    a /etc/group 1 blocks
    a /etc/passwd 9 blocks
    Tar: end of tape
     
    Tar: to continue, enter device/file name when ready or null string to quit.
    User entered a null name for next device file.
     
    The resultat is the same by using fbackup. Strange: the last tape device
    work fin on anther HP server.
    Thanks for any idea which help me to resolve the probleme.
     
    Here some HW infos of the server
