Frecover

[Massimo_37]

I tried frecovering a file ie /bin/sam using
frecover -xv -i /bin/sam -f /dev/rmt/0mn
It worked fine. But soon after when I tried to frecover a file from the same direcory it gives fbackup errors
frecover(2105) did not find expected file index
frecover(5419) checksum on volumne header is incomplete
frecover(5420) not an fbackup volume. magic number is incorrect
It worked once ? Why does it not work now ?
Should I rewind the media ? If so, could you help with the syntax
Many thanks in advance .

Hi,

Try to rewind the tape before you restore the second file.

# mt -f /dev/rmt/omn rew

Hi,

yes I think you should rewind because have used the norewind device file.

mt -t /dev/rmt/0mn rew
