fbackup help
Always use tar to backup, but there is a limit of 8 GB per file, so I want to backup with fbackup
I'm trying to backup with fbackup, but the following is happening, what is wrong?
the tape must be cleaned before the process? How?
PS: sorry, writing via google translator...
fbackup -f /dev/rtape/tape1_BESTn -i /u/desfontes/tiago –v
fbackup -f /dev/rtape/tape1_BESTn -i /u/desfontes/tiago -v

pax(1) doesn't have that limit but slower than
You're using a no rewind tape. (I thought that would produce an obvious error and reject it?)
Here is what fbackup(1m) says:
fbackup should not be used with no-rewind devices, for example, /dev/rmt/0mn or
/dev/rtape/tape1_BESTn on systems where legacy Device Special Files (DSF) is disabled.
