i'm getting the following message, " Reached end of medium.if you want to go on type device/file name when ready" when i'm doing a data restore eventhough ALL the data on the tape would not have been restored.WHAT IS WRONG, and what can i do to solve this.pliz HELP, im living dangerously if any corruption is to happen and i need to restore!
 
What OS ver? What backup method? Could you have told the backup to append to the end of the tape?
Yes, you are living dangerously. Ed Fair
