Hi!

Please, verify the tape state with "ioscan -fnC tape"

Regards;

J. Bravo.

It looks like there is no tape available in /dev/rmt/0mn.

Check the tapedrive with "mt -t /dev/rmt/0mn status", or add "-a" option to make_tape_recovery to point the output to a different tapedrive.

Thankss
I am able to take backthrough SAM so there is no issue of TAPE

I have given below command & it works
# make_tape_recovery -A -v -a /dev/rmt/3mn
it gives some wraning

is itr any problem?
How can I check that is successfull backup?
Can you give me procedure to restore?
does it take backup of all LVM, Volumegroup, configuration, Software & data?

How can I restore particualr file from this ?


If I take backup through SAM , How can I check what files are in backup & how can I restore particular file through SAM or any other way?
How can I restore file in other path or directory?

Hi

your /dev/rmt/0mn is missing.
You need to create back the device file

To extract file

Using tar to extract a file:

To extract a file from an existing make_tape_recovery

- Rewind the tape:

# mt -t /dev/rmt/0m rew

- Forward past the lif area

# mt -t /dev/rmt/0mn fsf 1

- Extract the file from archive

# tar xvf /dev/rmt/0mn /etc/hosts
