[flexbackup-help] flexbackup -test-tape-drive on a HP DAT 24

[Igmar P. <i.p...@jd...>]

Hi,

I've been trying to get flexbackup to work on a system with a HP SureStore 
24 on it, but no luck until so far. flexbackup -test-tape-drive runs 
without completion for hours, the process list shows it's running an
mt -f /dev/nst0 erase.

I've copied & pasted some stuff I think is relevant, anyone got a clue how 
to solve this ??



	Thanx,
