I am certain it is the correct volume. Here are the two commands I issue prior to restore: # mt -f /dev/nrsa0 rewind # mt -f /dev/nrsa0 fsf 3 If I issue # restore -tf /dev/nrsa0 > files.text then files.text contains the Employment directory and it's contents. To create the tape, I use BackupThisSystem script: #!/bin/sh for filesys in / /var /usr /usr/newdrv do dump -0au -f /dev/nrsa0 $filesys done mt -f /dev/nrsa0 rewind mt -f /dev/nrsa0 offline I hope this is what you are asking for regarding the file systems attached: /dev/da0s1a / /dev/da0s1f /usr /dev/da0s1e /var /dev/da1c /usr/newdrv Thanks, Greg wellsian wrote: > > Are you sure the files in question are on that part of the tape?
