hi all -
my overnight backups to an HP DLT4000 8-tape library have just started
failing with the following error
dump: Dumping from host arthur
dump: Date of this level 0 dump: Thu Jul 31 22:32:38 2003 BST
dump: Date of last level 0 dump: the start of the epoch

anyone any idead what this means ?
this is on an AlphaStation 500/500 with Tru64 v5.1 PK6.
if i 'manually' load a tape using mcutil i can read/write to it OK but
my backup shell script produces the errors above.
TIA,
john
