    Hello,

    I can successfully list the contents of backup tapes that I created using
    "fbackup" on a T-Series 9000 system as follows:

    # frecover -f /dev/rmt/0m -xNv (run from the same T-series 9000 system)

    However, this same command fails on a D-Series 9000 system
    (I don't remember the error, unfortunately).

    Here was the syntax I used to create the initial backup tapes
    (I'm going from memory, so I'm not sure if I used "-i" or not):

    # fbackup -f /dev/rmt/0m -i /

    I know for sure that I didn't use "-I indexname" to create an index file during the fbackup;
    is the fact that I didn't create an index file the reason for the errors seen on the D-Series system,
    or is this something else?

    Thanks in advance for any replies/suggestions.

    Regards,

    --John Lanier
