Good suggestion.... I was able to read the file list and there were only one directory in partition3.dmp. It threw an error that partial block read was: 53247 should be 64512. I had the same error when I extracted it. When I tried to see what was in the directory I get an error that the directory doesn't exist.


Code:
# ufsrestore xf /a/usr/home/partition3.dmp
partial block read: 53247 should be 64512
abort? [yn] n
You have not read any volumes yet.
Unless you know which volume your file(s) are on you should start
with the last volume and work towards the first.
Specify next volume #: 0
Volume numbers are positive numerics

Can you do a

Code:
ls -l

on that directory to see exactly what the file 'server' is. Perhaps it's a file and not a directory. That will also show its size.

Can you try:

Code:
 
 ufsrestore -ivf <dumpfile path>

in which i=interactive just to see if that tells us anything. Try it on both (or even all files). You could also add the 'd' switch (d=debug on).
So

Code:
 
 ufsrestore -idvf <dumpfile path>

I don't have a SPARC system here right now to test so some of that may not work.

In case these files were originally on a tape, you might also try:

Code:
ufsrestore tvaf <part0 vtoc file> <part0 dump file>

If I'm right in guessing that your .vtoc files are actually dump-table-of-contents files then that might tell you something.

Nothing to lose so let's try everything.

Well thats cool. I found out the block size is 126.

Partition3.dmp tried to dump on a drive that doesn't exist on this system (c1t0d0s3).

Code:
# ls -l
total 18
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     other         14 Jan  6 09:44 server -> /space/server
drwx------   2 root     root        8192 Jan  1 11:06 lost+found

Code:
# ufsrestore -idvf /a/usr/home/partition3.dmp
Verify volume and initialize maps

I'm not sure what it is looking for when I try to dump the .vtoc files. I had to interrupt just to get back to the prompt.

Code:
# ufsrestore -idvf /a/usr/home/partition0.vtoc

Please wrap all code, files, input & output/errors in CODE tags.
It makes it far easier to read and preserves multiple spaces for indenting or fixed width data.

I think that a 126 block factor means that the dump was originally sent to a cartridge drive and/or was written to disk in cartridge format (using the 'c' switch). If that's right it begs the question whether there was more than one tape volume for either or both part0 and part3?

Anyway, more things to try with our new found information:

(I'm still going to assume that your .vtoc files are actually dump archives)

Code:
 
 ufsrestore tvaf /a/usr/home/partition0.vtoc /a/usr/home/partition0.dmp
  
 ufsrestore tvcaf /a/usr/home/partition0.vtoc /a/usr/home/partition0.dmp
  
 ufsrestore tvbaf 126 /a/usr/home/partition0.vtoc /a/usr/home/partition0.dmp
  
 ufsrestore tvcf /a/usr/home/partition0.dmp
  
 ufsrestore tvbf 126 /a/usr/home/partition0.dmp

You could also try all of the above on partition3 stuff.

Thank you
Hickd8,

I tried all of your recommendations to no avail.I think the backups might be corrupted. I have an alternative solution now that doesn't involve restoring the backup files. I am just going to proceed with that. Again, thank you for all your help and patience.
