A few questions I'm afraid:-
- What version of AIX are we at?
- How was the savevg taken?
- Was there an exclude file used? (-e flag)
- Did the savevg work?
- How are you trying to restore?
- What error/output do you get?
The
savevg and
restvg are for operating on whole volume groups so far as I know. It is saved in
backup format, so it might be possible to read it with the
restore command instead, but I can't say I've ever tried. If you want to try, have a look at the
-i flag, but ensure you test it somewhere safe first.
Use the
-f to specify the device (or file in your case)
Sorry for all the questions, but I hope that this helps.

Hello,
I use commands savevg & mksysb to do backups on an AIX server.
Frequently, I have a return code 3.
