        Hi people,

        Problem is solved thanks Thomas Leitner (special thanks to him who
        spend much time),Paul A Sand,alia_at_vorn.org,Lowe Stephen, Nikola
        Milutinovic, Leonard, Roger ,North Walter, Alex Gorbachev,
        Joe Carrico, Jonathan Nicholson,John Losey and Jim Belonis.

        The mistake came from the backup script, I save Advfs with
        vdump and UFS with rdump (I changed it to save all fs with
        vdump) so vdump must be restored with vrestore and rdump(dump)
        with restore and when I tried to restore advfs with restore or
        Ufs with vrestore I got big trouble.

        What I did :
        1) mt -f /dev/... rewind
        2) mt -f /dev/... fsf 2
        3) restore mt -f /dev/... -i

        And all is now ok.

        JEAN




Original question :
        I have the following problem

        I made a backup from 3 file-systems to an DLT using :

rsh alpha1 \
"/sbin/vdump -0 -u -b 60 -f - /usr | rsh alpha4 dd of=/dev/nrmt0h bs=60k"
rsh alpha1 \
"/sbin/vdump -0 -u -b 60 -f - /d0 | rsh alpha4 dd of=/dev/nrmt0h bs=60k"
rsh alpha1 \
"/usr/sbin/rdump -0f alpha4:/dev/nrmt0h -b 32 /disk1"

        And now I have to restore /disk1. But if I type
        restore -i I have every times the error :
        Tape is not a dump tape.

        /usr and /d0 are Advfs, /disk1 is ufs.
        I trie first to do mt -f /dev/rmt0h fsf 2 but
        it doesn't work.
