When I run the fbackup , it pop up the below message, what is that mean?

WARNING: unable to read a volume header

Hi,

This message indicates that the tape your using has not been used for fbackup on it's previous backup. The message will also appear if it is a new tape. If it has been used for 'tar' or 'cpio' this message will appear.

If you run the following command, it will show you all of the 'fbackup' error codes.

# strings /usr/lib/nls/C/fbackup.cat |more

This message just means that the tape is being used for 'fbackup' for the first time.This is just a 'warning' and will not hamper your bakcup procedure.
