I am new to unix, and have just taken over maintenance/admin of a unix system. I am trying to restore a full backup of one of the consoles on the system. The tape backup device appears to be recognized as it is an option to restore from. After choosing the tape backup and loading the tape, a message appears "obtaining recovery tools", followed by the following message, "cannot load scsi(0)tape(4)(sashARCS)--media not loaded". If anyone has a suggestion as to what this means I would appreciare it. Also not sure if there is such a thing as a bootup or startup disk required if so how do I go about creating one as there was none passed on to me.
