[Solaris 7] TAR -xvf /dev/rmt/0 error for /dev/fd/0

2007-12-24 21:09:00


Guys,

I am trying to restore a TAR archive with the command
below, and it fails with tape read error on /dev/fd/1
when i am trying to dump the content into another
directory.

/rec_dir_comp_root/ # tar -xvf /dev/rmt/

extracts few files, and fails at /dev/fd/0 with

I restoring complete system backup in another
directory.

Second Question.

Tape1: Multiple archive on single Tape (UFSDUMP, tar,
VFSDUMP).

Can i burn copies of this tape directly using DD, and
can anyone email me the exact command context.
Assuming my system has two tape drive already
installed.

TIA,

-Ray
