My reply was for your previous reply, "Ahh the pain". What was the final path that worked?

>Maybe the command I use to read is not entirely sufficient for the way the archive is written to the tape?

Yes, you need to skip forward some number of files before you can use tar. An advanced forum search shows these threads:

Thank you. It appears that I can read the archive with the fsf 1. The path

swinstall -s /SD_CDROM/700QPK1020

opened up a GUI that allowed me to select a patch and subsequently install.

One (last?) question: Modified from my prior post, and noting that my tape drive is 1mn

When I use the command

make_tape_recovery -a /dev/rmt/1mn -I -x inc_entire=vg00

I get a Warning which states "... volume group /dev/dsk/c0t5d0 will only be partially included ..." and a Warning which states "list_expander returned a warning, please check the log file", and at the end of archiving I believe it states completed with warnings

When I use the command

make_tape_recovery -A -a /dev/rmt/1mn

I get no Warnings and at the end of archiving it states successful

However, my understanding is that the first command

make_tape_recovery -a /dev/rmt/1mn -I -x inc_entire=vg00

is the most inclusive command for backup

and my understanding is that the second command

make_tape_recovery -A -a /dev/rmt/1mn

is either close to or equal to the first command in terms of inclusiveness

Since I do not know why I get 2 Warnings when using the first command and 0 Warnings when using the second command, based on the specific Warnings and command inclusiveness, is it more prudent for me to use the first or the second command for Ingite-UX tape backups going-forward?

I will update points soon for all.

Thanks in advance.
