Hi,
My original question was ;

When I try to back-up / and /usr to a single tape I meet with an
unexpected thing.

first type ;

 vdump -0u /
then
 vdump -0uf /dev/nrmt0h /usr

but when this is finised I typed vrestore -i , but I sow that only

/usr is exist in tape. ( not root also ! ) any idea ?


Thanx to many people, I got the answer. What I did wring was to use

 vdump -0u /

first. Because in this case tape rewinds, and then I write

 vdump -0uf /dev/nrmt0h /usr

/usr overwrites the / !.

thanx to :
