The backup command is:
backup -0 -u -b 200 -f /dev/rmt1 /m1
we do a full, level 0 backup of our application
file system every night
and the restore command is:
restore -b 200 -rvqf /dev/rmt1
The odd thing is that I have replaced hard drives
before and restored from backup in the same
manner, with no errors ever being issued by "restore".
So, seeing "hole in the map" was disconcerting.
Thanks for the reply, Simon!
