I have recently begun to require 2 tapes for my backups. However, if I load the tapes into the slots in my DLT4000 (which sysconfig tells me is a FastStor DLT & mt -f rst0a status gives me Digial DLT4000) and do a "dump 0uf urst0a,urst0a /vol/vol0" it appears to work (dumping tape 1 then dumping tape 2) but when i try to restore (with the t option) i find it hasn't touched the second tape at all, but has overwritten the tape 1 with tape 2 data. Any ideas? sysconfig -t doesn't give me the option for rst1a Also the tapes never physically eject, they just go 'offline'
Cheers, SB

Is your stacker set to sequential mode? In order for the urst0a device to work correctly, the stacker must be in sequential mode.
