Hi everybody I did this question and I found that my mistake was a
little change of devices names, thanks to all for your help, the
question was:

> vdump -0uvUC /dev/tape/tape0_d0 /data

After this I added this one:
I am sorry I didn't describe what's going bad. The backup finished fine,
but when I am trying to use the commands mt and vrestore to restore any
file in one of these backups I can't find it, what I want to do is
something like this:
1) make a backup copy of more than one filesystem in a tape
2) restore any file (or files) backed up in one filesystem
vdump -0uvUC /dev/tape/tape0_d0 /
vdump -0uvUC /dev/tape/tape0_d0 /usr
vdump -0uvUC /dev/tape/tape0_d0 /var
vdump -0uvUC /dev/tape/tape0_d0 /data
mt rewind
mt fsf 1
vrestore -i
add /usr/local/bin/myprog
extract
These are the commands I want to use.
And the anser is:
vdump -0uvf /dev/ntape/tape0 /
vdump -0uvf /dev/ntape/tape0 /usr ... etc
