I am trying to take a backup of one server and put it on another server for programming and testing. When I take a tape with the complete backup and put it in the new server I am asked for tape 2 within 10 minutes or so. It took an hour to make the backup, and there was only 1 tape. I'm using Edge Backup to do all of this. Is there any one thing i'm doing wrong, or was this whole thing incorrect from the start.
I still don't know what I'm doing when it comes to Unix, but I learn a little every day.

I recommend you learn to do full system and partial backups using the UNIX CPIO command or the TAR command before using a vendor product. Command line backups allow you to learn, precisely, what is going on during the process.
