Hello,
I'm having a problem doing an interactive restore from a dump
made across two DAT tapes. I start the restore with the first
tape, and everything goes fine until I get asked for the second
tape. Once the restore starts reading from the second tape, I
get the following error message:
You have read volumes: 1
Specify next volume #: 2
Mount tape volume 2
Enter ``none'' if there are no more tapes
otherwise enter tape name (default: /dev/nrst16)
Wrong dump date
got: Fri Jun 19 18:38:13 1998
wanted: Fri Jun 19 15:19:56 1998
You have read volumes: 1
Apparently, when dumping, a new dump date is written to the
second tape which reflects the current time. Unfortunately for
me, the restore wants to see the original dump date?
I get the same error if I try to start the restore from the
second tape and work backwards (as is suggested by the restore).
I'm running FreeBSD 2.2.6-STABLE, and am trying to restore from
a DAT drive mounted remotely on a Sun 4.1.3_U1 system...
Any words of wisdom, guidance, sympathy, will be accepted gratefully.
Thanks in advance,
tom
