Hi
I was wondering if anyone could advise ?
I am slightly worried about a message at the end of what appears to be
a succesfull nightly backup to a Seagate ST220000 IDE drive. All looks
well but right at the end there is a message that makes me feel uneasy.
Am using 5.6 U4.
Heres log :-
flexbackup version 0.9.8

/dev/nst0: Input/output error
mt: The device is offline (not powered on, no tape ?).
Its these last two lines ? What is the backup script doing at this point ?
Is it important ?
Any advice thanks
