I'm testing out backing  up an Irix machine with a Linux box. I've 
already successfully run and restored backups on the Linux box. Now 
I've got a successful backup of the linux box, but when I try to 
restore using the following, I get this error:

amrestore -p /dev/nst0 olympus /dev/dsk/dks3d11s3 | /sbin/restore -ivf -

Verify tape and initialize maps
Input is from file/pipe
amrestore:      0: skipping start of tape: date 20020305 label olympus00
amrestore:      1: restoring olympus._dev_dsk_dks3d11s3.20020305.0
/sbin/restore: Error reading dump file header

This happens for every partition I try to restore.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Jenn Sturm
