SCO Backup Failure
I fairly new to UNIX and LINUX. I am trying to resolve an issue with my SCO OpenServer Release 5. My backups are failing with the following error:
cpio: MT_RECOVER failed for this device: Bad address (error 14)
cpio: Error occurred during end-of-media operations.
cpio: Please reissue the cpio command using -K with appropriate media size.
I am using a SCSI Dell DDS4 Tape Drive. I am using a script to run daily backups but here is the command I am using to initiate the backup:
cpio -ocvB -P0,1 >$TapeDrive 2>$List
Let me know of any thoughts you may have on how to resolve this.
Thanks,
Austin

backuplog
BACKUPLOG(5) AFS File Reference BACKUPLOG(5)
NAME
BackupLog - Traces Backup Server operations
DESCRIPTION
The BackupLog file records a trace of Backup Server (buserver process) operations on the local machine and describes any error conditions
it encounters.
If the BackupLog file does not already exist in the /var/log/openafs directory when the Backup Server starts, the server process creates it
and writes initial start-up messages to it. If there is an existing file, the Backup Server renames it to BackupLog.old, overwriting the
existing BackupLog.old file if it exists.
The file is in ASCII format. Administrators listed in the /etc/openafs/server/UserList file can use the bos getlog command to display its
contents. Alternatively, log on to the machine and use a text editor or a file display command such as the UNIX cat command. By default,
the mode bits on the BackupLog file grant the required "r" (read) permission to all users.
The Backup Server records operations only as it completes them, and so cannot recover from failures by reviewing the file. The log contents
are useful for administrative evaluation of process failures and other problems.
