Hi,

I was wondering if anyone knew what I need to do to read a Tape device used for backups ?

I'm using 'dd' to make the backup but must read the tape before each backup to forward the tape to the end of the last backup to make sure I don't overwrite any previous backups.

you're help would be much appreciated.
Brian.
