Exacly how is this standalone backup done from the boot/maintenance
disks? I try to choose standalone backup from the menu, but after asking
umpteen questions it responds with CAN'T OPEN /DEV/RMT0. I think I have
the correct values for tape length and density, at least the local IBM
AIX expert wrote them down for my distributor to give to me.
I am right now running AIX PS/2 1.2, this standalone backup to tape did
work on 1.1. And it works to disk even now, just this tape can't be
opened.
