Dump Problem

[Joerg Messer]

Has anyone seen the following problem when backing up to an Exabyte drive?


  DUMP: Date of this level 9 dump: Tue Aug 14 02:00:07 1990
  DUMP: Date of last level 5 dump: Sat Aug 11 02:00:08 1990
  DUMP: Dumping /dev/rxd0a (/) to /dev/nrst1
  DUMP: mapping (Pass I) [regular files]
  DUMP: mapping (Pass II) [directories]
  DUMP: mapping (Pass II) [directories]
  DUMP: mapping (Pass II) [directories]
  DUMP: estimated 606 blocks (303KB) on 0.00 tape(s).
-->  DUMP: fopen on /dev/tty fails
-->  DUMP: Bad return code from dump: 255

Our network backup script seems to be intermittently suffering from this
problem. Unfortunately, I'm having a little trouble tracking it down since
it only appears during the nightly backups. Any leads would be
appreciated.
