Hi!
I am helping out a friend whose employee mistakenly wiped out all
the accounts receivable data. I am trying to rebuild the databases.
Although I hack some at Unix, this is my exposure to SCO, so please
bear with me.
The system is an AT/386 running SCO 2.3. A backup was made (although
6 months ago) and I have 12 floppies with the backup. Using
/etc/sysadmin I can see the archive list. The files I want are on the last.
I ask to retrieve the files and start with diskette #2 and so on.
Disk #4 has the following error:
fd: ERROR: error on dev floppy (2/52), block=1196,
cmd=0000001 status =0000002
Tape read error: inode 624
It then asks for disk 5.
Disk five has an error:
Missing address (header) block
It then asks for the next disk and so on, although after 12 it still asks
for 13 (I have no 13). I therefore kill the process.
I do find in my directory two files of the name rsta00194 rsta001195.
Any ideas? I can make a copy of disk #5, and did a restor directly from
it. I still get on of these rstaxxxx files. Do these files have the data
I want? Can I extract it from them.
Any help is greatly appreciated-- Please reply to
