thanks for responding so quickly. Ok this works...but it restores the dump to the homestaff.user volume.
Here's what I do to make a backup : I create a backup volume with vos. So if the volume is called homestaff.user, the backup volume is called homestaff.user.backup. Then I use vos to dump that volume in a file. So after the disaster hits, I want to get the dumpfile from tape, and restore the homestaff.user.backup volume... right ? (that way I can mount it and restore "stuff". It is convenient to be avle to restore the original volume directly too, but I would also want to restore the backup volume. Is it because the backup volume is readonly that it doesn't want me to restore it ? thanks, >Try using "-name homestaff.user" rather than "-name homestaff.user.backup". >The command is making sure it will have room to add ".backup" and >".readonly" to the name you giving it.
