thanks for the quick reply.. problem is we did not put the backup file to a
tape drive.. we only dump it to a file then ftp the file to a remote server
with large harddisk space.. upon issuing the command restore it looks for
the file in the tape drive as shown below.. what are the options to look for
the dump file in the
present directory?
thanks
