Martin, Thank you for the reply. No, the C= A3070 Tape Drive is no DAT, but QIC-150. The out of synch errors will occur on comparing each of several backups I made, regardless from the destination device being on the same SCSI bus or not. With the same backup, the block where the compare stops with out of sync, will be the same on everxy try. When I pause the Program just before it reaches this block, and then resume operation, the compare will continue without any error for some other 100 MB, then stopping at another block with an out of sync condition. Strange… BTW, Bru (HDBackup) works without a flaw, and Ami-Back also works just fine (but my version does not restore to remote devices). And UNIX, too, never reported any errors, using the same hardware. This thing is special to your program only. When Diavolo locks on that error condition (window not closed, task not unloaded), it is still possible to access the streamer and the HD with other programs. So, the SCSI bus is not locked up by itself or left locked by your program. I was looking for a good backup routine I can recommend to my customers and which can be automated (called by, and using the UI of, another application). But I am disappointed by Diavolo not working with the vanilla-of-the-shelf and original C= AMIGA equipment. Sorry, because the backup seems to run really fast like a shot… – wkc – … via AP from Hamburg, Germany
