Finally got a tape drive to play with, so I gave this a try on a
5.5b9 box. Had a few problems; not quite sure what to do about them:
1. /dev/nst0 doesn't exist. I guess the solution would be to
/bin/mknod /dev/nst0 c 9 128 (the 9 and 128 coming from /dev/nst0 on
a live system) before starting any of the other operations.
2. Can't find afio and rsh in $PATH. Not sure why it needs them, but
it appears to be flexbackup complaining about this. These don't
appear to be installed by default. The tape restore from the web
manager appears to work properly, so I'm a little confused as to why
this would be coming up here, unless that's somehow related to the
missing /dev/nst0.
3. Can't signal-event post-restore (sorry, didn't write down the
error message for this one). Probably less significant than the
first two, though.
