Thanks, to all who replied..As most replies indicated I needed to use the 
b, d, and s options with dump to set the length of the tape..How I finally 
got it to work  after some trial and error and to be able perform the 
backup and was able to restore from tape was the following:

        dump 0dsbfu 10000000 10000000 12800 /dev/nrst0 /dev/xxx
        restore ivbf 128000 /dev/nrst0

Thanks, so much.

 Doug

    How can I add a 4mm Dat Drive to SunOS 4.1.4 so that it will
recognize the entire tape..Right now it sees the drive but thinks it's
an extremely small tape in the drive..when there is a DDS3 12-24 gig
tape in it? When I try to do a dump it won't backup more than about
200mb then asks for another tape.

    Also, when using dump for backups, does the tape actually rewind
when using the no-rewind option "dump 0uCf /dev/nrst0 /dev/sd0h"
it always says the tape is rewinding after dump.  I'm trying to use a
script to back up all partitions.

    New to SunOS4.1.4.    Any would be greatly appreciated..I need to
backup the system.  Thanks.


Doug
