Dear ALL;
I am using REDHAT 9 server and doin a back up on remote tape but the restore
gives prblem
let me expalin
I have a redhad 9 server and my tape drive is on a SUN Solaris server.
iam backing up the redhat 9 server on the tape drive attached to the SUN
machine
thats doin a remote backup
the tape is dds3 type.
i use the command from the linux machine to backup on tape attached to SUn
server
rdump 0f xx.xx.xx.02:/dev/rmt/0hbn /
and it backs up succesfully witout any errors
but i want to restore now
so from the linux machine i use the command
restore -if xx.xx.xx.02:/dev/rmt/0hbn
but it gives me a error message
Connection to xx.xx.xx.02 established. -- -- where xx.xx.xx.02is the SUN
server IP
restore: Tape is not a dump tape
if i use tar command
tar -tvf xx.xx.xx.02:/dev/rmt/0hbn it says
tar: This does not look like a tar archive
tar: Skipping to next header
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
now if i go to the SUN sparc machine and run tar command
tar -tvf /dev/rmt/0hbn
it says
tar: directory checksum error
if i run ufsrestore
ufsrestore -ivh /dev/rmt/0hbn
its says
Verify volume and initialize maps
Media block size is 20
Volume is not in dump format
how can i test my restore .. or which command can i run with swiches for a
sucessful restore
also how can i list the contents of tape
thanks and Regards
simon
