WTG Hilary! With Quarterback 6.0, to backup more than one partition at a time to a tape, you need to clear the checkmark for "Rewind after backup or restore". You will find this by selecting "Tape Options…" in the "Options" menu. This will delay the automatic rewind the QB normally does until after you exit Quarterback. You still only get to tell Quarterback to do one partion at a time but at least it will be ready to do the next partion after right after the first one finishes. If the tape has already been rewound, you'll also have to use the advance function accessable through "Tape control…" under the "Utilities" menu. It will let you skip over the partions you already have on a tape. Set the count to be equal to the number of partions already on the tape. And after that gets old you will want to use an ARexx macro to do backups of multiple partitions. Quarterback comes with an example macro called "Multiple Backups" or you can look at my macros in the file MLTBAK.LHA which are in the AmigaUser Library 9, Disk Utilities. // \X/ Amiga or bust!
