Hi: For backup/restore in a Dell PowerEdge 2600 with DTL IV tapes I use '/bin/tar -cpf /dev/st0 /' for backup and '/bin/tar -xvpf /dev/st0 <file>' for restore or '/bin/tar -tvpf /dev/st0' to see the content of tape backup. The restore/see-content is very slow and I remember some thing related in any list some time a go, but I can't find any reference. Anyone can point me any tip or to information start-point? ( May be can be realted with UTF8 or device parameters? ) RedHat AS 21 TIA -- Shrike-list mailing list Shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/shrike-list
