Sysback fails on bootable tape with return code 11

Response:


   Env:
       AIX 3.2.5
       TAPE 8mm 2.3gb
       RISC 7013-59H
       Sysback 2.2.1.3

   Desc:
        When the customer tries to run the sysback command.
        (making a bootable full system backup)

         Syntax:
         sysback -f /dev/rmt0

             OR

         smitty sysback
           Backup/List/Restore Options
             Full System (Installation Image)
               Backup Full System

       
        It fails at the start with this error message:
        bootable tape failed with error 11.

   Action:
          This is a problem with sysback at this level of AIX.
          You need to have the most current level of sysback 2.2.2
          for 3.2.5.  The problem is sysback uses a different method
          to create the different bootable image on the tape at 3.2.5.
          The backup command changes the return error messages.  Now
          if the backup command cannot find a file to backup it will
          return a NON ZERO error, which sysback at that level will 
          think as a error message and abort the process.

   Next Action:
            Sending at level 2.2.2.3 of sysback to the customer.
