ontape restore problem
Kanti Bakarania, on IDS 9.40.FC5 Tru64, had a cold ontape restore fail with 'buc_fe.c: Archive API processing failed'. Art Kagel suspected a corrupted archive and suggested an earlier archive plus logical logs. Fernando Nunes asked about matching IDS version, tape block size and a tape size of 0. Solved: the restore worked after the disk layout was matched to the backup server.

IDS Version 9.40.FC5
Unix version; Tru64 UNIX 5.1a
I am trying to cold restore using ontape. I am getting following message.
Continue restore? (y/n)y
Do you want to back up the logs? (y/n)n
Read/Write End Of Medium enabled: blocks = 5184391
Physical restore failed - buc_fe.c : Archive API processing failed at line 791
for msgtype
Program over.
any help will appreciate.
Thanks
Kanti
That sounds like the archive file/tape has been corrupted. Can you restore
from an earlier archive and roll forward the logical logs?

- Are you using the same IDS version you used during the backup?
- Are you using the same TAPE block size?
- The tape size seems to be set to 0. Was it like that when the backup was
done?
Regards.

Thnak you all: Restore worked after I matched the structure of disk layout with the backup server. Thanks again Kanti
