Hi Yogi,

I think you are using a no-rewind tape device. Can you try as given in the following example.I saw this example from some online doc.

frecover -f /dev/rmt/c?d?t?BEST -v -I /tmp

Hi,

you can't verify the 2nd tape on its own. Frecover should ask the next tape when it reaches the end of the first tape.

regards,
Thierry.
