We've had some problems making tape backups of our NeXT server and
user directories using 'dump' and 'restore' (under 3.0)...  Essentially,
'restore' seems unable to read data 'dump'ed to tape, although it *can*
read data 'dump'ed to disk...  'tar' seems to work all right (but, of course,
you can't do an incremental 'tar'...).  Has anyone else run into this problem?
Any suggestions?

Also:  Does anyone have any recommendations on a good DAT drive for use
with the NeXT, or good tape drives in general?

Thanks...
