G'day all, We have an 8 tape LTO3 storage loader We are using tar to backup to it...tar -v -F/spider_eye/backup/bin/change_tape.pl -cf /spider_eye/backup/ dev/6474_tape --totals --index-file=/spider_eye/backup/log/ Sunday_2010-10-29:21:00:00_full_tar.idx --exclude-from=/spider_eye/ backup/full_exclude.lst /bod >/spider_eye/backup/log/ Sunday_2010-10-29:21:00:00_full_tar.log 2>&1
It works find and we can restore OK. (sort of) We just needed to restore one file it was on tape 4 of 9. So I stuck the required tape in and... tigger:/restore# tar -Mxf /backup/dev/tape0 bod/SANY0076.MP4tar: bod/data/Tmp/end.avi: Cannot extract -- file is continued from another volume
tar: Skipping to next header tar: bod/SANY0076.MP4: Not found in archive tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errorsI cannot get past the fact that the file end.avi on on the tape prior to this one and this tape. As far as I can tell I should be able to restore from one tape because the each tape is an indvidual tar archive.
