Hi Guys,
I have been doing cron automated backups for sometime, on my test Alpha.
>From the outputs, it appears to work fine, but I have never had to do a
restore from my tapes (DLT TZ85 on TZ87). I just today tried to do an
interactive restore i.e.
$restore -i on my last backup tape....
and can only find one FS using ls. It shows only the first dump. I am doing
a 0 level dump on a daily basis (tape capacity holds all, in one). Below is
my dump commands in the order of dumps.
/usr/sbin/dump -0un -f /dev/nrmt0h /disk2
/usr/sbin/dump -0un -f /dev/nrmt0h /usr
/usr/sbin/dump -0un -f /dev/nrmt0h /
mt -f /dev/rmt0h rewind
mt -f /dev/rmt0h offline
Should I do backups in / /usr /disk2 order? Or do I need to ff or rewind
the tapes to the start point of each dump on tape to read its contents? Any
ideas would be most welcome.
Thanks
