Volume is not in dump format

I see the tape has the image I want. I usually use this
command:
amrestore -p (drive) aimserver /dev/hda2 | ufsrestore ivf -
Is the error telling me that linux has the compressed the
image a different way. This is the line from disklist
aimserver /dev/hda2 linux-tar # /usr
You use tar for backup --------------^^^
and try to restore via restore which belongs to dump ...
You have to use tar for extracting that image:
amrestore -p (drive) aimserver /dev/hda2 | tar -xvf -
(you might have to adjust the tar-params a bit, can't look them up right
now)
