Scheduled backup of a file system.
I have an IBM, P-series Intellistation running AIX5.1. I have installed an IBM DAT72 4mm tape drive. It is installed as an Other Scsi Device(ost). When I schedule a backup it fail's to run (input or output error). Does this device need an Auto mount of some kind? If I run a diagnostic test (for example), it will do the backup and will do all the incrementals for the week, but when I put a new tape in for the next week, the scheduled backup will fail.
Any thoughts?
