problem solved

Hi

Thanks all for your wonderful feedbacks....much appreciated.

The system was able to see the tape drive when I connect it to the systerm directly bypassing my external SCSI HD and all backup and restore are working.

It would make sense if HD is bad but it is working fine. Still puzzle me what the cause is...well more researching I guess.

thanks again janr and hasan2.

NAME
tcopy - copy a magnetic tape SYNOPSIS
tcopy source [destination] DESCRIPTION
The tcopy utility copies the magnetic tape mounted on the tape drive specified by the source argument. The only assumption made about the contents of a tape is that there are two tape marks at the end. When only a source drive is specified, tcopy scans the tape, and displays information about the sizes of records and tape files. If a des- tination is specified, tcopy makes a copies the source tape onto the destination tape, with blocking preserved. As it copies, tcopy pro- duces the same output as it does when only scanning a tape. The tcopy utility requires the use of Berkeley-compatible device names. For example, example% tcopy /dev/rmt/1b /dev/rmt/2b ATTRIBUTES
