Hi
I'm having problems with restoring a backup that has been made with dump

It's a redhat 6.1 machine
I want to restore the files on a redhat 7.1 machiene

cd /space
restore rf /dev/ht0

#(very long list)#
#and then half way#

Mount tape volume 2
Enter ``none'' if there are no more tapes
otherwise enter tape name (default: /dev/ht0) none
Warning: End-of-input encountered while
./data/data/fromcvs/development_2/com/data/support/producerconsumer/java/tes
t/CVS/Root/file
entry type: LEAF
inode number: 4214662
flags: NEW
abort? [yn] y
dump core? [yn] n

The backup went well on the machine where the backup was made if i need to
believe dump.
You whould realy help me with an tip/solution on this one :)
Maybe the syntax `restore rf /dev/ht0` is not the right way ?

I've never heard of /dev/ht0.  I've used /dev/nst0 and /dev/st0 and /dev/rmt

I like afio for backups too.  Corruption in the archive doesn't affect
recovery of the rest of the files in the archive.
