    Hi,

    I am searching for the reason why the backup command failed in AIX with the "lseek call failed" error message after completing 99% of backup.

    Are there any limitations of backup command?

    Regards

    It could be caused by activity in this filesystem while the backup is running.

    Hi,
    I have umounted the filesystem and performed the backup. Still is giving same error. Do this error has any correspondance to filesystem size?

    Hi,
    Are any relevant message written to errpt? What is the size of the file system? How much data is in the file system? What kind of tape device is rmt6.1? Do other backups work?
