- Hi,
-
- I'm trying to back up to a MAXSTREAM 250Q and nothing
- seems to work. I tried tar -c ./etc and got the error:
- /dev/rxt0: I/O error. Then I tried the dump command --
- dump 0u ./etc and got the error: bad sblock magic number.
-
- Can some kind UNIX expert tell me what to do or suggest
- something? I tried more /dev/rxt0 and the light on the
- drive came on... I don't know if that makes any difference.
-
- Please reply to me and I'll summarize if there is interest.
-
- Please, please help!
-
- Thanks in advance!!

- Jonathan
