Have you tried any? "00001.server._home.1" is equivalent to one file on a tape. You don't rewind one "tape file", you rewind the entire tape. Your "tapes" are "file1", "file2", ... However, each should have a directory named "data". And the incremental dump file you show above should have been created in that "data" directory. -- Jon H.
