I use two stations under Digital Unix 4.0d.

I want to backup a directory on a remote tape server with the following
command:

1) /sbin/vdump -0f - -D /usr/essai | rsh server "dd of=/dev/rmt0h"

path : /usr/essai
dev/fset : usr_domain#usr
type : advfs
advfs id : 0x35f3a144.000961e0.1
vdump: Date of last level 0 dump: the start of the epoch
vdump: Dumping directories
vdump: Dumping 0 bytes, 1 directories, 0 files
vdump: Dumping regular files

vdump: Status at Thu Feb 1 10:25:29 2001
vdump: Dumped 0 of 0 bytes; 100.0% completed
vdump: Dumped 1 of 1 directories; 100.0% completed
vdump: Dumped 0 of 0 files; 100.0% completed
vdump: Dump completed at Thu Feb 1 10:25:29 2001
384+0 records in
384+0 records out

When I want to restore:

2) rsh server "dd if=/dev/rmt0h " | vrestore -xf -

I get the following message:

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

Is it possible to use interactive restoration (-i) on a remote tape
serveur ?

If you have any idea to restore a directory or a file with this command,
can you help me please ?


Thank you in advance
