hi,
i just deleted a file that should not be deleted on my e-smith server (in an ibay)! so i started my ssh client to restore the file with flexbackup (running on my IDE Seagate Hornet tapedrive).
that's the log of the backup:

tells me that no data is on my tape (same with "-toc")
WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY BACKUP?
is the device /dev/nst0 the IDE tapedrive?
where is my daily backup saved to? (cron daemon?)
i want to change it to only backup on some days a week - how?
thx for your help!
