I'll bump this up for the morning crowd. The platform I'm testing is Linux/OAFS-1.2.13. Currently we back up to TSM tape from an AIX system. This is not possible to do using Linux, the alternative is to back up to disk, then to tape using the TSM client.

Does anyone have any experience with the incrementals not being applied to a level 0 restore? Thanks.

I've been trying to do this all day, and I'm not getting anywhere.

I'm testing a volume restore from a set of backup files.
/backup/spring06/L0/AGBvol  is the level 0 file containing 1.3Gb.
/backup/spring06/Wk1/Wed/AGB.Wk1.Wed is the level 1 file that contains
only 36Mb.

The command I'm using is:
backup> volrest afsfs8 g user.52114 .rst 01/27/2006+12:30 -port 501 502

backup> Restore volume user.52114.backup (ID 537317129) from tape
agbtest.spring.1 (1138307033), position 1 as user.52114.rst.
Restore volume user.52114.backup (ID 537317129) from tape agbtest.Wed.1
(1138381267), position 1 as user.52114.rst.

So it's looking to both bu files for data to restore.  But, it's only
restoring the Level 0 volume and stopping without applying the Level 1
incrimental.

Readlabel shows the same file size on each port offset, which is also
confusing.
backup> readlabel 501
Tape read was labelled : agbtest.spring.1 (1138307033) size : 104857600
Kbytes
backup> readlabel 502
Tape read was labelled : agbtest.Wed.1 (1138381267) size : 104857600
Kbytes

I've temporarily mounted the restored volume and compared it to the live
volume, and the additional data is missing.

tapeconfig looks like this:
100G 0 /backup/spring06/L0/AGBvol 501
100G 0 /backup/spring06/Wk1/Wed/AGB.Wk1.Wed 502

The CFG files look like this:
CFG_backup_spring06_L0_AGBvol
FILE YES
AUTOQUERY NO

CFG_backup_spring06_Wk1_Wed_AGB.Wk1.Wed
FILE YES
AUTOQUERY NO

Any help is appreciated.  Thanks.
