Hi admins,
 
Its about one month that we can not do the backup even after changing 4 or 5
times the tape device
and the usage of cleaning tape.
 
Here the typical result of the backup command
 
mt -t /dev/rmt/1m rew
tar cvf /dev/rmt/1m /
a /etc/lvmtab 31 blocks
a /etc/group 1 blocks
a /etc/passwd 9 blocks
Tar: end of tape
 
Tar: to continue, enter device/file name when ready or null string to quit.
User entered a null name for next device file.
 
The resultat is the same by using fbackup. Strange: the last tape device
work fin on anther HP server.
Thanks for any idea which help me to resolve the probleme.
 
Here some HW infos of the server
