Hello,

im using DEC Unix 4.0E
and dump/vrestore Version 4

I wold like to wite multiple backup sessions to one tape without overwriting the
last backup (sequentially).
I do a
# vdump -0f /dev/nrmt0h -D <SubdirA>
and after that
#vdump -0f /dev/nrmt0h -D <SubdirB>.
But when i want to look at those Backups with
# vrestore -tf /dev/nrmt0h
I only see the last one. Positioning the tape with
#mt bsf 1 -f /dev/nrmt0h
doesnt bring me back to the first backup.
Are all the backups on the tape or did i overwrite them?
should i position the tape one fsf before doing the next backup?

Thanks in advance
Samier.
