    very thanks !

    I summary their answers to two classes:

    1. write a special shell scripts based on following rules:
    ----------------------------------------------------------

        a. Using No rewind device.
        On Dump_Host :
            /etc/rdump 0bsf 96 126000 /dev/nrst0 Host_1:/home/...
            /etc/rdump 0bsf 96 126000 /dev/nrst0 Host_2:/home/...
            /etc/rdump 0bsf 96 126000 /dev/nrst0 Host_3:/home/...

        or

        b. Well, to get to the end of the tape use the command
            mt -f /dev/nrst0 eom
            Do this after each dump.

    2. use PD backup package -- Amanda.
