The last time that happened to me, probably 3 years ago, I found it 
was required to re-install the os, then do the restore.  Because of 
file locks, its probable that not everything is on the tapes.

But, since 6.2 has quite a few exploits, and is no longer supported 
by RedHat, you really should migrate that machine to at least 8.0 
plus all the stuff up2date will want to update for you when you run 
that utility.  That old version of bind that 6.2 installs may be 
the single most rootkitable bind in history.
