Hello, we made a ontape backup from our main server and tried to restore it on another server. Main Server ---> 64bit Linux 11.50.FC5WE CentOS chunks created in raw devices Restore Server > 64bit Linux 11.50.FC5WE Debian chunks created in the file system Start restore: Restore will use level 0 archive file /backup/rechenknecht_0_L0. Press Return to continue ... Using the backup and restore filter /usr/bin/gunzip. Archive Tape Information Tape type: Archive Backup Tape Online version: IBM Informix Dynamic Server Version 11.50.FC5WE Archive date: Mon Oct 15 17:00:01 2012 User id: root Terminal id: ? Archive level: 0 Tape device: /backup/ Tape blocksize (in k): 1024 Tape size (in k): system defined for directory Tape number in series: 1 Backup filter: /usr/bin/gzip Continue restore? (y/n)y Physical restore failed - function read archive backup failed code -1 errno 0 The file ist rw-rw--- for user informix. The most strange thing is, that you could restore it on another server with the same OS Linux (CentOS), but also with chunks in the file system. Can someone give me a hint ?? Thanks Klaus

It looks like you compressed the archive using the BACKUP_FILTER set yo gzip. Make sure that the RESTORE_FILTER is set to gunzip to restore the archive. It looks like you have it set to gzip.
