I want to restore few files. Files were backed up using ftio. I would like to restore these files in to a different directory.
What is the syntex.

When I try ftio -idxE /dev/rmt/0m /source file /destnation dir
I get error saying
ftio: error reading tape header : magic number is invaftio: please mount tape 1, then hit return

There is only one tape. Any suggetion would help
Thanks

Hi Uday,

The first thing to try is to add 'c' to your arguments. It may have been created using the 'c' (ASCII headers) format and you would see just this kind of error.

Regards, Clay

Hi,

You listed your ftio command line as:

ftio -idxE /dev/rmt/0m /source file /destnation dir

The man page for ftio doesn't show any specification for a destination directory. To use it this way, you will need to have your destination directory as your current directory and try this:

ftio -idxE /dev/rmt/0m /sourcefilepattern
