restoration of multivolume archive with GNU tar

[ramsraja]

Hi,

I have taken a backup of 4 GB data into 2 tapes using GNU tar with multivolume (-M) option. Can you pls tell me in detail as to how to restore the data back from 2 tapes. Is there any bug with GNU tar that creates a problem in restoring a multivolume archive. if yes what is the fix to that?

Thanks ,

Raja.
