Restoring archive tapes

Hello again !!! I'm using an AIX machine with IDS 7.31 UC4 I've performed a level 0 archive using a tape device, then I've performed a level 1 archive using another tape device connected to the same machine. Now I want to perform a cold restore using the two tapes, but the ontape program asks for the level 1 archive on the same device as the level 0. But my level 1 tape was performed on a different tape device. How can I resolve this ?? Is there a way to tell the ontape program that the level 1 archive must be read from another device ????? Thanks for your help. -- Paulo Roberto Marelli de Amorim TS&0 Consulting Brasil Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.

Use dd to copy the tape from the 'other' device the the first. Be sure to set the block size (bs). Art S.
