   save the stderr output to a file and look thru there.

   like
   tar cvf /dve/ht0 . 1> /tmp/tar1.log 2> /tmp/tar2.log &

Are you saying to do my backups by typing out this whole line?

root> tar cvf /dev/ht0 . 1> /tmp/tar1.log 2> /tmp/tar2.log &

I guess I just find that a strange syntax. What does "1" mean when you
redirect it to /tmp/tar1.log?

I did just do a:

root> tar tvf >tape.dump

and it looked ok. (ie it didn't end with any error message)

Thanks again!

 Those who do the work and those who take the credit. He told me to 
 try to be in the first group; there was much less competition."
