overwrite on the tape

[Mousa55]

make_tape_recovery –A –I –X inc_entire =vg00 –a /dev/rmt/0m

This command to take backup, but I have tape contain some data

I want to tell me what is the proper option to added

To work overwrite on the data

[Matti_Kurkela]

Nothing is needed. make_tape_recovery overwrites by default.

To make the tape bootable, Ignite must write the boot information to the beginning of the tape.

In order for the tape to be bootable, Ignite must start at the beginning of the tape. Any existing data on the tape will be overwritten.

Note: You should use the norewind tape device. e.g. /dev/rmt/0mn

[Bill Hassell]

These are the correct options:

make_tape_recovery -I -v -x inc_entire=vg00 -a /dev/rmt/0mn

[skt_skt]

-l LLA
The LLA (link-level address) of the system being archived.
Used to create the per-client directory on the Ignite-UX
server.

is the "-l" option relevant in this case?

[Bill Hassell]

make_tape_recovery -I -v

Unfortunately, the font used for the forums has a very difficult time with uppercase -I and lowercase -l...The uppercase -I means choose interactive mode during the restore.
