Hello, Thank you for reply back so quick! Ok, now I got it to work finally! I have a new question; what's the different between nrsa0 and rsa0? because when I use mt -f /dev/rsa0 status or mt -f /dev/nrsa0 status it gave me the same result. And what the recommended backup command for FreeBSD system. Is there any backup command that fimilar to ufsdump and ufsrestore on Solaris? Thank you!
