Hi All,
 
I am taking a dd backup on DDS-3 DAT Tape of a raw veritas file system of 18 GB Size.OS Version is Solaris 8.The tape is 40GB compressed.(HP Surestore DAT 40)
 
  The command i use is:
root@prodtest # dd if=/dev/vx/rdsk/abtest/vol10 of=/dev/rmt/0c
dd: unexpected short write, wrote 0 bytes, expected 512
21791684+0 records in
21791684+0 records out
root@prodtest #
 
 
I need a dd backup and only dd!
    So kindly advice where i am going wrong or what syntax should i change in order to get a successful backup.
 
Thanks in Advance.
 
Regards,
 
Kurian Thomas
