You have stacked files onto one tape. To restore the XXXvg use: # mt -f /dev/rmt0.1 fsf 1; restorevgfiles -f /dev/rmt0.1
To restore the YYYvg use: # mt -f /dev/rmt0.1 fsf 2; restorevgfiles -f /dev/rmt0.1 Milton Johnson Voice: 210-677-6728 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: Calvin Chang [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, December 08, 2003 1:53 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Restoring files from a savevg Hello everyone, I'm having trouble trying to restore a file from my VG. Here is the scenario: Basically every night I backup my mksysb, XXX Volume group, and YYY Volume group all to one tape using this command #mksysb -ie /dev/rmt0.1 #savevg -i -f /dev/rmt0.1 XXXvg #savevg -i -f /dev/rmt0.1 YYYvg How do I access data that I need to restore from the XXXvg?? I tried using the #restorevgfiles -f /dev/rmt0 command and it returns saying that the file is not in an archive format. Any help would be deeply appreciated. Thanks
