sorry because of last message, coincidentally i pressed send key .... the complete message is : hi guys thank you all for your answers to my last questions. i found how dump - restore works. but i have question : i did this : dump -0aj -f /tmp/1.bak / in order to run a dump to back up the whole system ( did i do it in a right way ? ) and after the dump is finished, i do this to restore it : restore -if/tmp/1.bak it says : Dump tape is compressed. restore> what should i do here ? i checked out the man page, i used this : restore> extract /tmp/1.bak after enter, i see this : you have not read any volumes yet. unless you know which volume your file(s) are on you should start with last volume and work toward first. specify next volume # ( none if no more volumes ) : what should i do i this step ?
thank u all ...
