985.1My experience...DAIVC::SUGIYONOWed Jan 29 1997 01:3112
    Hi,
    
    	I got the same error message when I intend to restore the DU V3.2g
    	from the tape to the new disk.
    	This problem came up when I used the 3.2g CD-ROM to restore the
    	tape.
    	What I'd done then, was take the 4.0a CD-ROM and restore the tape to
    	the new disk. It work successfully.
    
    Regards,
    
    Sugiyono

I'm not sure if a patch for 3.2G was ever made, 
but 877.9 explains what is going on.  If someone
knows if a patch has been made, please post the 
patch number.

    Thanks for your responses.
    
    I did go thru' note no 877 also. After working with the customer, I
    have come up with the exact problem. Please see note 995 herein.

985.4so vrestore on 3.2g won't work at all??!!KERNEL::COFFEYJLa Feline Flooz - a unix catTue Apr 15 1997 03:3510
Are there any other ways around this??

I have a customer who has a system installed from the same CD (3.2g)
that he is now trying to vrestore a backup through. 

Of course when booted off the CD trying to restore it complains that 
it wants v4 restore - this is a system installed 3.2g, backed up 3.2g and 
now the restore doesn't work cause it reckons having everything at the same
version won't do... eh?
