That was what I did, too -- just let it tell me what the block size was.

It was so quick because you just got the root file system.  Remember that
each file system is a *separate* *file* on the tape, so you need to keep
doing "dd" for each one.

Hi,

I figured it out by my own :-)	mt -f/dev/nrst0 blocksize
	blocksize is in kbyte
> Hmm, which blocksize is used by 5.1.1 level0.backup?
First get the blocksize of the dump:

	% mt -f/dev/nrst0 rewind
	% mt -f /dev/nrst0 blocksize
	/dev/nrst0 fixed block length = 1024
	% dd if=/dev/nrst0 of=/dev/null bs=1024k
	0+639 records in
	0+639 records out
	20938752 bytes transferred in 37 secs (565912 bytes/sec)
	%

This is a little quick, isn't?
