Linux Backup Problem

[skw8966]

I'm trying to backup my Red Hat 6.2 Linux server and receive an error.

Here's the log:
Performing backup of / to /dev/nst0 ..
DUMP: Date of this level 0 dump: Wed Dec 3 10:18:10 2003

.. backup failed!

The tape drive seems to work fine. I've cleaned the tape drive and tried different tapes. I always get the same results.

Any ideas??

Thanks.
