I think it would have hung there indefinitely...I cancelled the job and retried several times. Then I saw something about having the tape drive is blk vs variable length mode and changed it to variable length. I noted when I labelled the volumes I got an error, but still registered in the catalog and used the tapes (can't find the exact message). After resetting it to variable the error never occurred; I relabeled all the volumes and redid the db. I then setup a smaller backup and it and the catalog backup worked. Tonight I'll try doing a full 2TB, should roll to a second tape (theo. max is 1.6TB) and seemed to be the hangup point, but not sure why it stopped at 9gb. Wish I had more data to pass on, but its confusing all the options and xcrossrefing. I'm hoping for just a simple setup where full/diff/incr can be made an logged. Most of my clients are be rsynced to a master Raid, I could change this if i get this working. thanks for responding!
