    On one of your servers, the crontab is empty for the root user. Not really
    sure how this happened. I have attempted to restore it from a mksysb to
    /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root. It states everything is OK, but when I check
    the crontab, it is still a empty file. Any suggestions? Am I doing this
    correctly?
    restorevgfiles -r -f'/dev/rmt0' ./var/spool/cron/crontabs/root
