The Question is: I'm trying to restore a saved set from a DLT tape to an external SCSI 18GB hard drive. The system recognizes the external drive as DKB100. I initialized the drive using the following command: "INITIALIZE DKB100: TEMP" The initialization went very fast. I then MOUNT/FOREIGN DKB100. I then try my restore using the following command: "BACKUP/IMAGE MKA400:12345678.INC/REWIND DKB100:" However I get a message "BACKUP-F-NOVOLDATA, volume summary data for DKB100: not found - /IMAGE cannot be used" I tried using a 2GB External Hard Drive - this time I allocated the drive first before initializing it - and got the same error message. I can create directories on the external drives as well as copy files to them. Did I initialize them incorrectly? Are my specifiers incorrect? Help. The tapes are from an AXP v6.1 system and I am using a 7.1 system. Thanks. The Answer is :
Your saveset does not appear to be a disk image saveset, but rather a
collection of files and directories. Put another way, the "/IMAGE"
qualifier was not used when this BACKUP saveset was created. To see
the BACKUP command used to create this saveset, use the command:
$ BACKUP/LIST saveset/SAVE
In order to restore this saveset, you will need to restore it to a
normally-mounted disk. If you wish to create a new disk, you will
have to initialize it and mount it file-structured. Your restore
command must not use the "/IMAGE" qualifier, but rather specify the
files you wish to restore (potentially all files).
The Wizard cannot help but notice that the filename of your saveset
uses a ".INC" extension, which might indicate that this saveset is an
incremental backup (a backup of only the files that have changed since
a certain date, or since the last recorded BACKUP). In other words,
this saveset may not include all files on the target disk.
