I had problems with this too, until I resorted to a drastic
solution. I read the entry for "restore" in info. There is
a mandatory command line flag
-snn
when restoring from a tape with multiple backups on it. The number
"nn" is the position of the backup you want, relative to the current
position of the tape. For example, you can do multiple backups to
/dev/rmt0.1 and then restore them all by repeated
restore -s1 -f/dev/rmt0.1 ...
commands.
