backups getting it so the tape doesn't rew.
Currently am running the backup command for AIX 5L and see that the tape is rewinding after the completion of the back.

backup -0 -u -f /dev/rmt0 / >> $file 2>&1

What can I do to stop allow the backup to rew after the completion of this job? Any thoughts?

Thanks again.

This is what we used on 4.3, but I believe it should still work.
find /law1/DB/PROD -print | backup -iqvf /dev/rmt0.1
find /law1/lawson/ccsprod -print | backup -iqvf /dev/rmt0
