Here's my question:
1.After dumping to the tape, I used vrestore -t -f /dev/nrmt0h and got
error: unable to use save-set; invalid or corrupt format. I've thought
the reason was that I didn't clear the tape label created by Networker.

Actually, I got the error because I didn't rewind the tape. I can use
mt rewind to rewind to the beginning of the tape. I also can use
/usr/field/tapex -f /dev/rmt0h -m to print out the format of what is on
the tape.

2. how to vdump several directory into a tape. Can I use 1 command
include all direcotry
or I need to use 1 vdump for each directory

Need to use 1 vdump with -DN option for each directory. Every directory
is saved in 1 saveset. Use mt command to get the correct saveset.
