I have always done regular backups of our HP9000/835 using fbackup, but have never had the need to restore anything from them until today. Here's the problem I have with frecover. % frecover -x -v -i /mnt1/miller/c.dir frecover(2101): expected eof from input, not received frecover(2101): expected eof from input, not received frecover(2101): expected eof from input, not received ... (about 200 more lines of this) ... frecover(2101): expected eof from input, not received frecover(2101): expected eof from input, not received frecover(2101): expected eof from input, not received Segmentation fault (core dumped) % I have tried 3 different fbackup tapes and get the same error. I have tried using a graph file, running in single-user mode, rebooting, etc. I *did* get something with 'frecover -I tapeindex'. The index seems to be intact, though there was some binary garbage tacked on to the end of the file. Also, I was successful in restoring some files from a tar tape, so the mag tape hardware seems to be in order. I'm running HP-UX 7.00 by the way. Does anyone have any clues???
