Re[2]: [OpenAFS] .....exceeds the size limit

[Ron Croonenberg]

thanks for responding so quickly.

Ok this works...but it restores the dump to the homestaff.user volume.

Here's what I do to make a backup :

I create a backup volume with vos.
So if the volume is called homestaff.user, the backup volume is called
homestaff.user.backup.
Then I use vos to dump that volume in a file.

So after the disaster hits, I want to get the dumpfile from tape, and restore
the homestaff.user.backup volume...  right ?
(that way I can mount it and restore "stuff". It is convenient to be avle to
restore the original volume directly too, but I would also want to restore the
backup volume. Is it because the backup volume is readonly that it doesn't want
me to restore it ?


thanks,
