mksysb puts 4 files on a tape

Boot image
Restore program image
dummy TOC
savevg of rootvg

So you need to start at file 4 to get rootvg files,
File 5 to get XXXvg
File 6 to get YYYvg

Hello everyone,

I'm having trouble trying to restore a file from my VG.
Here is the scenario: Basically every night I backup my mksysb, XXX
Volume group, and YYY Volume group all to one tape using this command

#mksysb -ie /dev/rmt0.1
#savevg -i -f /dev/rmt0.1 XXXvg
#savevg -i -f /dev/rmt0.1 YYYvg

How do I access data that I need to restore from the XXXvg??

I tried using the #restorevgfiles -f /dev/rmt0 command and it returns
saying that the file is not in an archive format.

Any help would be deeply appreciated.

Thanks
