Re: Whats happens if I use a no rewind device for a single fbackup?
fbackup always rewinds the tape before the backup starts and I think, when it finishes.
better just using /dev/rmt/0m.
If you are trying to put more than 1 fbackup on a tape,You will not be able to do it.Are you able to do the listing (frecover -f /dev/rmt/0m -x -N -v [listing].I think you should be able to continue that device and frecover should work just fine.
regards,
Ani

Re: Whats happens if I use a no rewind device for a single fbackup?
I haven't tried frecover the tapes have gone to a third party, but I think they are having problems..
Is it because if you choose a no rewind device fbackup WONT be able to rewind at the start and end? Is that what the problem is?

Re: Whats happens if I use a no rewind device for a single fbackup?
1.Best way to do is graph file so in future you can update it easily.
2.You can also use the fbackup manually and include those filesystems - using a no rewind device.
fbackup -i /home -f /dev/rmt/0mn (n is for no rewind)
fbackup -i /var -f /dev/rmt/0m (no need to rewind if this is all you are putting on the tape)
Normally /dev/rmt/1mn would be the no rewind device - typically for large tapes and small backups you'd use the no rewind so that the next time you put in the tape it would add another backup at the point the first one had left off rather than continually overwriting the first backup.

Re: Whats happens if I use a no rewind device for a single fbackup?
I'm not entirely sure I understand what you are saying :o)
The fbackup we have done for example is this:
fbackup -0 -i /u01 -i /u02 -i /u03 -f /dev/rmt/c14t33d0BESTnb
would this be ok? its a one off backup.

Re: Whats happens if I use a no rewind device for a single fbackup?
I thought fbackup explicitly checks for no rewind and would abort? Under WARNINGS it says:
fbackup should not be used with no-rewind devices
(Perhaps I'm confusing this with ignite.)
To validate your tapes, use frecover as mentioned by ani007.
