I backed up a unix database using
"tar -cvf /dev/rmt1 -N 800 /*"
Normally I would restore this using
"tar -xvf /dev/rmt1 -N 800"
This is reporting an error about
"not enough memory"
I have done a new test backup and restore using the same commands and they work.
ANY IDEAS ? (2 Replies)

RDIFF-BACKUP-FS(1) General Commands Manual RDIFF-BACKUP-FS(1)
NAME
rdiff-backup-fs - Filesystem for accessing rdiff-backup archives.
SYNOPSIS
rdiff-backup-fs <mount_point> <repository> [repositories ...] [-option ...]
DESCRIPTION
rdiff-backup-fs is a filesystem in userspace that reads rdiff-backup archives and provides convenient access.
OPTIONS
--debug <0-4>
Run rdiff-backup-fs in foreground with given verbosity of debug messages.
-f, --full
Store information about all revisions in memory. CAUTION: this may take a lot of memory if your archive contains many revisions.
-l, --last
Displays files from the most recent increment as directories, each holding every version of the file. CAUTION: this stores informa-
tion about all revisions in memory and therefore may take a lot of memory if archive contains many revisions.
-c <n>, --caching <n>
How many files retrieved from the rdiff-backup archive may be cached by filesystem. By default rdiff-backup-fs will cache up to 10
files. If this switch is set to 0, no caching will be done.
-r <n>, --revisions <n>
How many revisions should be stored in memory for on demand revision retrieval. By default rdiff-backup-fs will store up to 10 revi-
sions in memory.
-d, --directory <path>
Set directory for directory with temporary files. By default rdiff-backup-fs uses /tmp.
-v, --version
Print version of rdiff-backup-fs and exit.
