Hello,
I use dump/restore at various sites, and it does the job very well. The
only problem I have with restore is that it takes a long time to restore
when the backup job is of a considerable size.
I've looked into using dump's -Q option, which writes out to a 'Quick File
Access' file. This file is generated correctly as far as I can tell, but
when I go to restore, I get the following error:
[9610] error: 5 (setting tapepos: 35502400)
Could this be a limitation of the tape device/driver, or am I doing
something wrong here?
The testing machine is running Debian 3.0 on a 2.4.26 kernel, and a Sony
SDX-400V AIT drive:
(scsi0:A:5): 40.000MB/s transfers (20.000MHz, offset 15, 16bit)
Vendor: SONY Model: SDX-400V Rev: 0100
Type: Sequential-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02
The Debian package version of dump is 0.4b27-4.
Cheers,
Tim
