Re: How do we restore from Tape on DEC 4.0
We have to restore from backup, is it best to go to init 1?
We tried to restore and it restores over the operating system and crashed the kernel..

Re: How do we restore from Tape on DEC 4.0
If kernel is the problem, do the following:
>>> boot -file genvmunix
After OS boots do:
# doconfig (without arguments)
After that copy new kernel as /vmunix
# cp
Reboot and it should work OK.

Re: How do we restore from Tape on DEC 4.0
The OS he loaded from CD is pre-Y2k.
Not sure my guess is that is is the vmunix as well. My boss is attempting to do a full system restore (non-bootable) from a tape that contains the Y2k compliance stuff.
The Tape contains the most recent full backup.
When it reachs a certain point in the restore it crashes the system. Any ideas from or for this?

Re: How do we restore from Tape on DEC 4.0
OS version 4.0D and above did not have y2k problem. I did the full system restore once using 4.0D boot CD and everything was OK.
So, what is your OS version?
What file system is used, UFS or advfs?
In what point in the restore it crashes the system?
By the way, in old DEC unix, non-rewind tape device should be /dev/nrmtXh, and rewindable tape is /dev/rmtXh.
Can you describe your restore procedure with more details?

Re: How do we restore from Tape on DEC 4.0
use -v and make sure that you are at the right spot when restoring. When restoring /usr you will have to use cd /usr. Also do not use restore on an ADVFS volume.
greetings,
Michael
