frecover to another box

I need to take an fbackup tape from box 'a' and restore the /app area to another box 'b'.

Can I use frecover to use another systems tape and restore a specific file system?

I need to restore the /app area from 'a' on to system 'b'

Yes, you can - If I understand you correctly.

You can fbackup /app and then frestore it to another computer.

If that's what you're asking.

Yes. Of course, the other system needs to be HP-UX so that it has frecover(1M). And the same type of tape drive or one that supports the tape format that was created. Or you can use the tape drive on box a to recover to box b with the -f machine:device option on frecover.

Hi Robert

Yes, you can do so. Hope OS version is same on both systems in order to have files compatibility

Hi Robert,
Yes you can.
on machine a : fbackup -i /app -f /dev/rmt/0m ( for example)
on machine b : frecover -i /app
