Does anyone know how to restore a Veritas NetBackup NDMP backup using restore (or ufsrestore)?
Its quite easy with a single tape backup (you do a "mt -f nrst0a fsf 1; mt -f nrst0a fsr 2" to skip over the Veritas header). But after skipping the header on a second tape, the format doesn't seem to be the same as a normal dump continuation tape.
On the second tape you "fsr 1" instead of 2.
The entire NDMP image is encapsulated in a tar header and trailer. Each tape file has a leading file header. Each tape has a tape label.
At the beginning you are
skipping the tape label file skipping the file header and tar header
On the 2..N tapes you need to
skip the tape label file skip the file header
