hi, i've made a level 0 archive using ontyape on a remote filesystem TAPEDEV host2:/backup/SL0 when i try to restore the archive on host1 with ontape -p (for HDR) i've got an error message : Please mount tape 1 on host2:/backup/SL0 and press Return to continue ... Physical restore failed - function read archive backup failed code -1 errno 0 i checked perms, owner, connection all is fine. if i launch ontape -p on host2 with the same archive it works fine. finderr -1 gives me => not owner i don't understand what's wrong... to be complete, host1 is an Aix 5.3 with IDS 9.40 64 bits and host2 is a RH7.3 with IDS 9.40 32 bits

This won't work. HDR requires both host to be of same hardware, OS etc. I think ontape requires at least same vendor like AIX, Solaris.
