Vxrestore

Hi All,

Iam in trouble, hope with all yours contribution, ican solve this VXRESTORE issue.

Iam taking backup of my file system in DLT tape with the help of
#vxdump -0 -u -f /dev/rmt/0mn<file system> . It is done successfully , I can view the files which is backup on tapes with the help of #vxrestore -i

But the problem is iam unable to restore it back with the help of #add <ex.unix> then #extract.

The messages iam getting :
vxrestore:wrong volume(1)
vxresotre: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.

Please help me to vxrestore my selected file in the different or same location of the file system with DLT backup.

I appreciate your valuable help .

NAME
amflush - flush Amanda backup files from holding disk to tape SYNOPSIS
amflush [ -f ] [ -D datestamp ]* config [ host [ disk ]* ]* DESCRIPTION
Amflush writes Amanda backups from the holding disks to tape, and updates the Amanda info database and tape list accordingly. Backups may stay in a holding disk when something is wrong with the tape at the time amdump is run. When this happens, the problem must be corrected and amflush run by hand. -D datestamp specify a datestamp expression you want to flush, see the "DATASTAMP EXPRESSION" section of amanda(8) for a description. -D 20001225-7 will flush all dump from 25 december 2000 to 27 december 2000. You can specify many host/disk expressions, only disks that match an expression will be flushed. All disk are flushed if no expression are given. see the "HOST & DISK EXPRESSION" section of amanda(8) for a description. Amflush will look in the holding disks specified by the amanda.conf file in /etc/amanda/config for any non-empty Amanda work directories. It then prompts you to select a directory or to process all of the directories. The work directories in the holding disks are named by the date at the time amdump was run, e.g. 19910215. Amflush normally detaches itself from the tty and runs as a background process. With the -f option, amflush stays in the foreground. This is useful if amflush is run as part of another script that, for example, advances the tape after the flush is completed. See the amanda(8) man page for more details about Amanda. EXAMPLE
Amflush will search for holding areas associated with the PUCC configuration. After you select which holding area to flush, amflush writes the data to tape, updates the databases and sends a mail report similar to amdump(8). % amflush DailySet1 Scanning /amanda-hold... 20001113: found Amanda directory. 20001114: found Amanda directory. Multiple Amanda directories, please pick one by letter: A. 20001113 B. 20001114 Select directories to flush [A..B]: [ALL] all Flushing dumps in 20001113, 20001114, today: 20001117 to tape drive /dev/rmt/0mn. Expecting tape DMP014 or a new tape. (The last dumps were to tape DMP013) Are you sure you want to do this? yes Running in background, you can log off now. You'll get mail when amflush is finished.
