Hi! I have a "ontape -s -L 0" backup-tape from ids on server no. A. This backup i will restore with "ontape -r" on server no. B. Of both server the system settings are being the same: The same chunks, the same AIX-OS-Level, the same IDS-OS-Level, and the same onconfig settings. If i call ontape -r (on IDS-Status Offline) on server no. B., i become the error-message: Physical restore failed - function read archive backup failed code -1 errno 0 Restore a level 0 archive (y/n) If i here answer y, i became the same message. Dieter

Is there any hint in the error log (errpt) ?
