I am trying to back up 3 different partitions on to one tape every night. When I use: restore -i /dev/nst0, I can only see one partition. I tried to use: mt -f /dev/nst0 fsf 1, to look at the second partition but all i see is the first partition i tried to back up.
My back up script looks like the following:

mt -f /dev/nts0 rewind
/sbin/dump -0f /dev/nst0 /partition1
/sbin/dump -0f /dev/nst0 /partition2
/sbin/dump -0f /dev/nst0 /partition3
mt -f /dev/nst0 rewind
What am i doing wrong?
What you're doing seems correct...
You should be able to access the second partition using:
mt -f /dev/nst0 rewind
mt -f /dev/nst0 fsf
restore -if /dev/nst0
Or just simply
mt -f /dev/nst0 rewind
restore -i -f /dev/nst0 -s 2
