Probably. Without knowing the specifics of your tape archive process, it is likely having an issue dealing with the hard links. Almost all questions of the nature "how do I backup my pool/backup partition" are answered with "take a snapshot of the partition and back that up". Regards, Tyler -- "I have come to the conclusion that executions solve nothing, and are only an antiquated relic of a primitive desire for revenge which takes the easy way and hands over the responsibility for revenge to other people... The trouble with the death penalty has always been that nobody wanted it for everybody, but everybody differed about who should get off." -- Albert Pierrepoint |
