Hello again,

TRU64 UNIX V5.1A, ES40, DLT QUANTUM 7000

Thanks for the responses so far but unfortunately the suggestions did
not resolve my problem. (I will summarize all when I solve the issue).
I have changed the tape unit and ran a cron job using the dump
command.
I apoligize for all the information I have enclosed but I am
desperately trying to resolve this. I have concerns that I might have a
problem with my /u (the filesystem I am trying to backup/restore).

THIS IS THE MAIN BODY OF THE BACKUP JOB..

ps -Af >> $bkupdir/$cur_date".backup.reports"
        
             /sbin/dump -0uf /dev/ntape/tape3 / &
             #DUMP OF ROOT
               wait $! #control processing
        
               if [ $? != 0 ]; then
        
         echo "$? - Root Dump Failed" >>
$bkupdir/$cur_date".backup.reports"
                    else
        
        echo "$? - Root Dump Successful" >>
$bkupdir/$cur_date".backup.reports"
               fi
        
            /sbin/dump -0uf /dev/ntape/tape3 /usr &
        #DUMP OF /usr
                wait $!
        
              if [ $? != 0 ]; then
        
         echo " $? - User Dump Failed" >>
$bkupdir/$cur_date".backup.reports"
                    else
        
       echo "$? - User Dump Successful" >>
$bkupdir/$cur_date".backup.reports"
               fi
        
           /sbin/dump -0uf /dev/ntape/tape3 /u &
        #DUMP OF /u - the data section I desperately need to backup
                 wait $!
        
               if [ $? != 0 ]; then
        
        echo " $? - U-sirsi Dump Failed" >>
$bkupdir/$cur_date".backup.reports"
                     else
        
        echo " $? - U-sirsi Dump Successful" >>
$bkupdir/$cur_date".backup.repor
