Hello,

For some reason, the Ignite tape is not a complete archive.

a) What version of Ignite bundle was used?

b) Did they, by any chance use
flag -d"" in make_tape_recovery?

In other words, what was the command that
they used to create the archive?

c) Did they run "check_tape_recovery"
after the backups to tape (or something
similar like verifying the logs)?

d) Was the tape written for the same
architecture (PA-RISC tape can only
recover PA-RISC server)?

Another things that makes me intrigued.
control_from_server is a configuration item
used to determine if the Ignite-UX server
that the client has connected to should control the session or not (normally
useful for make_net_recovery, for example).

Cheers,
