recover file remotely

[Ahmad Munawwar]

Hi,

When i tried to recover the file from remote device i got this error message:
Starting file recovery...
frecover(5419): checksum on volume header is incorrect.
frecover(5420): not an fbackup volume; magic value is incorrect
frecover(5412): Do you wish to try to salvage this volume? [yes no] frecover(430

Before this i managed to backup remotely the direcory /usr using SAM to /dev/rmt/0mn. Then i continued with backup the directory /etc into the same remote device.

Now i craeted directory /munawwar in my WS and try to recover only /etc file from remote device to /munawwar in my WS but the error above appear. do i left anything? please advice

Could it be that you have specified the no rewind device when using your fbackup. I think you may need to rewind the tape

mt -t /dev/rmt/0m rew

Hi Ahmad

You will have to remsh or rexec to the server to rewind the tape

remsh -n 'mt -t /dev/rmt/0m rew'
