Hi Guru's,
 
Presently we are facing a problem in the restore of a differential incremental backup (without full backup) of files on solaris taken on LTO-2 Tape Drive on L180 Tape Lib. using NetBackup 4.5GA and Solaris 5.8.
 
We are trying to restore the backup on the tape using the tar in the netbackup/bin folder and getting the following error "Hm.. This does not seem to be a tar file". Has anybody dealt with such kind of problem earlier or know or think they know its solution ?

Has anyone restored the old catalogs from catalog backups and then restored the expired images from that ? We are definately sure that the tape has not been overwritten. If anyone knows anything please reply me and cc to k.mohan@vsnl.co.in
 
Thanks & Best Regards
Sumeet.
