I've moved on a bit here is what I've done so far:-

[Administrator@dilmom Administrator]$ /usr/local/sbin/amrestore -p /dev/nst0
dilmom KevDocs | /sbin/restore -iv -b 2 -f -
Input block size is 2
/sbin/restore: Tape is not a dump tape
Error 32 (Broken pipe) offset 0+32768, wrote 0
amrestore: pipe reader has quit in middle of file.

I just keep getting this error - can you identify where I've gone wrong.

Regards

Kevin

and if it's not the default host...

sethost dilmom

you will probably want to restore to a different location and push the 
files over manually...
