I created backup with hostdump.sh script.
What is the command to do full restore from this tape?

When you say "full restore", are you trying to recover a system that is unbootable, or are you trying to simply rstore everything on the tape back ontop of a running system?

hostdump.sh uses the "dump" command to backup, so "restore" is used to restore the data. As to the options needed, you'll need to look at the hostdump.sh script to determine what options it used to create the backup.

Hi:

Sorry, hostdump.sh is not a standard command. If you attach it, we may be able to help.

Hi,

What this shell ? It's probably not coming from a standard HP-UX system, but from someone who developed the shell. You have to see what kind of tools this shell is using. Because of the name, maybe it could be "vxdump" or "dump", and the sommands line to restore data from the tape are "restore" or "vxrestore"
See man pages of those commands.
