Dear gurus,
I am running DU 3.2c
I want to restore files that have been inadvertently deleted by a user.
I usually dump my file systems on one single tape, here is the procedure:
#---------------------------
/usr/bin/mt -f /dev/rmt0h rewind
/usr/sbin/dump -0uf /dev/nrmt0h /usr
/usr/sbin/dump -0uf /dev/nrmt0h /buffon
/usr/sbin/dump -0uf /dev/nrmt0h /cgm
/usr/sbin/dump -0uf /dev/nrmt0h /gcg
/usr/sbin/dump -0uf /dev/nrmt0h /junk
/usr/bin/mt -f /dev/rmt0h weof
/usr/bin/mt -f /dev/rmt0h rewind
#----------------------------
The files I want to restore are in /junk, hence the 5th file system.
Before entering restore, I skip the 4 first file systems:
/usr/bin/mt -f /dev/nrmt0h fsf 4
Now I enter "restore -i". "ls" shows that I am correctly positioned.
I then "add" the files I want to restore, then "extract"
Now comes a totally cryptic question:
> You have not read any tapes yet
> Unless you know which volume your file(s) are on you can start
> with the last volume and work towards the first.
> Specify next volume #:
I tried "1" .... The tape unit becomes busy for some time, then I get
the prompt "restore > "
I quit, and see than I did not restore anything....
Besides the fact that the question is cryptic (hence stupid and useless)
what should I answer?
I understand that the tape has to be correctly positioned for me to be
able to "add" the files I want to extract. Since I _am_ correctly
positioned, what is this f.... "next volume #" ??
I found nothing useful in the System Administration book.
Thanks for your help,
Jean-Loup
