I have already turned off/on the tape library, without luck.
Also, I can't reboot the Server (24x7)
We are running Ubuntu 6.06.2 LTS - 2.6.15-51-server
Thanks in advance
Richard

Just a thought, have you had a power outage during a backup, recently?

Sorry, mate, wish I could help ya!

Microsoft does half the work that Open Source developers do, and they
get all the money. Where's the justice there?

after a while you remember that you probably should be working and get
around to it.
