vdump / vrestore

Dear ALL,
        I am writing some backup / restore routines, using vdump and
vrestore. These command are new to me, as is DU.
        My test script, in ksh is basically:

vdump -0Cx 7 -f /dev/nrmt0h /
vdump -0Cx 7 -f /dev/nrmt0h /usr
vdump -0Cx 7 -f /dev/nrmt0h /usr/data1
vdump -0Cx 7 -f /dev/nrmt0h /usr/data2

No sweat with this and logging tells me all data is backed up. However, when
I check the tape or do the restore thing with:

vrestore -tvf /dev/nrmt0h >> afile

ALL I get is files from "/" . Apparently "/usr" "/usr/data1" and
"/usr/data2" are not on tape.

Does vrestore require specific fileset for each instance of command? or am I
just being a plonker and missing something obvious.

Any advice/help appreciated.

Sincerely,
Malcolm Condie, Auckland New Zealand
