The tape drive can handle DC600A and up. One interesting fact is that when I use DC6250 tapes, tar seem to be able to handle about 240M, but dump still considers the tape as 60M and asks the next volume to be mounted after dumping about 60M. Is there a way I can make full use of DC6250 tapes using dump ? Thanks. Woody Jin
