Hi all!

I made a vdump backup on a DEC TLZ6L-DA tape drive on my Alpha Server 4100
(running DU 4.0D), and I'm now trying to restore these tapes on a Hewlett
Packard SureStore Tape 6000 tape drive. Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to
be working. I keep getting I/O errors when I try to do the restore or even
show the contents of the tape. The exact error message that I get is this:

vrestore: unable to use save-set; invalid or corrupt format


************* PROGRAM ABORT **************

vrestore: can't obtain fileset attributes


The type of tapes that I'm using are Hewlett Packard Digital Data Storage 2.

I can successfully show the contents of these tapes on the TLZ6L-DA tape
drive and also restore them. Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks!
