The same device should be used. I.e. if you backup to 0bn, recover from 0bn. If you backup to 0cn, recover from 0cn. See st(7) man page for a description of the letters. In general, using the "b" versions (Berkeley style EOF) is not recommended, but if something is working (and recovering), don't change. -- Jon H.
