    Hi

    I am not able to take backup of my volumes on multiple sessions on to a LTO-2 Tape
    I tried using the tctl with FSf switch, even then my tape having the latest contents only.
    Basically I am backing up /u01, /u02, /u03, /u04.
    When I check the content in the tape it is showing only /u04 content

    Thanks

    Try the rmtX.1 device. With it, you don't have to use tctl.

    Thanks for the reply. I tried this options as well.
    Even I have failed to take backup on multiple sessions.
    I could see only the last backedup contents

    Thanks
