vxrestore problem

[Akif_1]

Hi All,

Iam in trouble, hope with all yours contribution, ican solve this VXRESTORE issue.

Iam taking backup of my file system in DLT tape with the help of
#vxdump -0 -u -f /dev/rmt/0mn . It is done successfully , I can view the files which is backup on tapes with the help of #vxrestore -i

But the problem is iam unable to restore it back with the help of #add then #extract.

The messages iam getting :
vxrestore:wrong volume(1)
vxresotre:you have not read any tapes yet unless you know which volume your file(s) are on you should start with the last volume and work towards the first.

Help me to vxrestore my selected file in the different or same location of the file system with DLT tape backup.

Note: OS is HP-UX B.11.11.U 9000/800.

I appreciate your valuable help.

I think it is telling you that it recognized that this backup consists of multiple volumes,
and that the file(s) you wanted to restore don't reside on the first tape.
So it asks you to shift tapes until it finds the file(s) where to restore from.
Maybe you should start from the last volume?
