Make_Recovery Question Urgent Plse Respond
I have a make_recovery tape, if I restore the VG00 volume group using this, will my other volume groups still be ok after the restore(I have 7 data volume groups)

I used make_recovery -A to create the tape

I have a HP9000 HP-UX 11

An internal disk is failing, the other volume groups are on raided Nike 20 disk arrays
