Here is the session as it happens. It always tells me I've not read any tapes. I'd love to hear how to get this to work properly. I've made a couple of #comments in the output that I pasted here. I'm doing everthing according to how it's detailed in this URL. http://www.execpc.com/~hamiltj/docs/dump.html#ch-6 The tape volumes are laid out like this / volume 1 /usr volume 2 /home volume 3 Snip------------------------- # mt -f /dev/nrsa0 fsf 2 #On the tape server to move up 2 volumes to 3. # restore -i -f tape.telestream.com:/dev/nrsa0 #On machine restoring. restore > ls .: activedog/ firstorder/ mikesg/ singtech/ air-balancing/ get-informed/ msdevine/ spicy/ amber/ gillespiedecals/ msdevine2/ spivey/ angledetailing/ gnreynholds/ mysticalfate/ stmcdowell/ band-trouble/ grant/ nwfyrmedyk/ tsbilling/ bestbitesbuys/ jat/ procyon/ victor/ cascade/ keith/ proto/ wbean/ cwi/ kesat/ robinson/ william/ cydoniacc/ macrosoft/ seti/ deeh/ matiax/ shad/ eu4ic/ mcferran/ shawncwi1/ restore > add victor restore > extract You have not read any tapes yet. Unless you know which volume your file(s) are on you should start with the last volume and work towards the first. Specify next volume #: 3 #Don't know if this is correct. Mount tape volume 3 Enter ``none'' if there are no more tapes otherwise enter tape name (default: /dev/nrsa0) #What to enter ?
