I am receiving these errors below when a client tries to back up to a
server.

#./full-backup

In the client log:
Thu Oct 31 09:35:31 2002, Starting full backup.
Thu Oct 31 09:41:53 2002, Error: Backup client side did not receive
necessary starting information from server. Output was:.
Thu Oct 31 09:41:53 2002, Streamer state: READY
Server-ID: hatteras:/usr/local/afbackup/server/etc
Precious tapes: -
.
Thu Oct 31 09:41:53 2002, Full backup failed.

The server log says

Thu Oct 31 09:41:07 2002, Warning: Setting the file number 50 failed.
Thu Oct 31 09:41:07 2002, Error: Command 62 ('>') failed (cannot open device
for writing)

However when I query the tape drive on the server I get:

laser# /usr/local/afbackup/client/bin/afclient -qwv -h hatteras

Streamer state: READY
Server-ID: hatteras:/usr/local/afbackup/server/etc
Precious tapes: -
Current tape access position
Cartridge: 1
File:      1
Number of cartridges: 1
Current cartridge set: 1

Also  pref-client on the server says:

laser.marine.tradewindse.com 1036080814 <client-program>

And  server-ids on the client says:

hatteras 2988 hatteras:/usr/local/afbackup/server/etc

So, obviously the client and server can find and recognize each other and
the client can find the tape drive.

Anybody know how to decrypt these error messages to find the cause of why
the tape is not starting?  The tape light comes on and the tape moves, so
the tape is being accessed.  Apparently though the tape isn't being opened
for wrting.

Hardware and software :
Server: Sun Ultra 5 , Solaris 8. Tape Drive Hp1553 4 mm DAT ,
client:  freebsd4-7-Release
afbackup software version:  3.3.7p13

Anybody have any ideas or seen something like this before?
