You can specify which tape device to use with the -t option to smbtar.

I try to make a "mt -f /dev/st0 eod" to put the tape in the finish of the 1st backup before starting the 2nd server backup, but it didn?t works. I hope you have a advice...<BR /><BR />Thanks, Mauro<BR />Brazil Mon, 30 Jul 2001 16:48:47 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-microsoft/backup-of-nt-servers-with-samba/m-p/2558822#M1342 Mauro_3 2001-07-30T16:48:47Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-microsoft/backup-of-nt-servers-with-samba/m-p/2558823#M1343 You may need to use the no-rewind version of the tape device (for scsi tape drives, use /dev/nst0 instead of /dev/st0).
