Hi Sun Managers,
Thanks to everyone. The common points are:
1, usr s option with restore command. the n follows s means the dump session
number. ( Actually, I tried this option, but mistakenly thought it is
the number of real files need to skip, so I tried some large number, and
of course, it didn't work).
2, use mt to forwind tape to the beginning of dump session to be restored.
mt -f /dev/rst? fsf n
this n is the session number-1.
and then use restore command.
I used the first method and it works!
