rewind 

Default value: None

Used by the SAP utilities to rewind a tape when a tape backup is performed. This parameter is also used when you use pipe or pipe_auto to back up to a remote system or restore file from that system.

The rewind command for your host operating system.

For example, you might enter:

rewind = "mt -t $ rew"

Rewind commands:

HP-UX: "mt -t $ rew" ; AIX: "tctl -f $ rewind" ; OSF/1, SINIX, SUN, NT: "mt -f $ rewind"

Make sure that you do not forget the double quotes when you enter parameters composed of several values.

Make sure that you replace the device address with the character $, as shown in the example. The SAP utilities replace the $ character with the address of the device you use.
