Dear All,

     I am using TLZ07 Tape drive on DEC Alpha 2000 running Digital UNIX
(OSF/1) v3.2 I have got a problem when trying to restore a file system
from a backup tape. I backed up the file system with dump command. I
have got the reading error while restoring which it came from media error
on the tape.
     Please give me some advices about :
          1. How to verify the backup image of dump after backing up to
guarantee
          the completeness of backup.
          2. How to test /detect the media error on the tape.
     I am looking forward to your reply:

Best Regards,
Kraisit Vittinanon.
