"00001.server._home.1" is equivalent to one file on a tape.
You don't rewind one "tape file", you rewind the entire tape.
Your "tapes" are "file1", "file2", ...

However, each should have a directory named "data".
And the incremental dump file you show above should
have been created in that "data" directory.




Hi Jon,

I thought using those "file*" would help simplify the long and complex pathnames. It turned out otherwise.
I'm sorry for the misunderstanding. Here are the complete and correct file names.


__changer.conf:
multieject 0
gravity 0
<...snip...>
firstslot 1
lastslot 6

slot 1 file:/Backup/DailySet1
slot 2 file:/Backup/DailySet2
<...snip...>
slot 6 file:/Backup/DailySet6


___disklist: snook /Share incremental local snook /home incremental local <...snip...>


I had tried both ways:


1. "ammt -f /Backup/DailySet1/data/00001.snook._home.1 rewind" gives this error

/Backup/DailySet1/data/00001.snook._home.1 rewind failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device

2. "ammt -f file:/Backup/DailySet1/data/00001.snook._home.1 rewind" gives

file:/Backup/DailySet1/data/00001.snook._home.1 rewind failed: Not a directory


Any ideas??
