    Hi,

    I'm preparing to upgrade a 1000A to 5.1A (from 4.0E). I backed up some
    filesets by issuing:

            mt rew
            vdump -N -v -0 /
            vdump -N -v -0 /usr
            vdump -N -v -0 /home
            mt rew

    However when I went to double-check it's validity I issued:

            vrestore -t

    and got:

            vrestore: unable to use save-set; invalid or corrupt format

            ************* PROGRAM ABORT **************

            vrestore: can't obtain fileset attributes

    Is this user error or some sort of bug?

    Thank you!
    Andy
