frecover help

No special procedure. Tape #7 knows that the file/directory you need is on tape #1. Make sure that the volume header for tape number 7 matches tape #1. It's possible that tape #1 has a portion of the directory you need and the rest is on tape #2 and possibly #3. But based on the message above, tape #2 is marked as tape #1 (probably from some other backup). That's why you need to compare the -V output from frecover on each tape. Look for these 3 fields:

Time:Mon Jan 10 08:07:21 2005
Volume Number:1
Backup Identification Tag:25068 1105362441

These will tell you if the #2 tape belongs with the #1 and #7 tapes.
