You have stacked files onto one tape. To restore the XXXvg use:

# mt -f /dev/rmt0.1 fsf 1; restorevgfiles -f /dev/rmt0.1

To restore the YYYvg use:
# mt -f /dev/rmt0.1 fsf 2; restorevgfiles -f /dev/rmt0.1

Subject: Restoring files from a savevg


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
