[flexbackup-help] Multi-volume Restore...?

[vasudeva <vas...@me...>]

Recently I decided to try out the multi-volume support with mbuffer.
The backup went fine -- five separate directories across two
volumes.

When I went to restore, though, I got problems.  I can restore from
any backup file except the one that spans across the tapes.  In my
case, this is file number 5.  I've included the command I'm using
and the output, as well as attached my flexbackup.conf.



***

That's where it will hang, for as long as I let it.  It doesn't
matter which of the two tapes tape I try this command on -- it fails
both ways.
