First we need to know what format the tape is written in.

Hi

I assume fbackup frecover

Restore from remote drive

/etc/frecover -xi/directory -f remote_name:/dev/rmt/0m

Remote restore, local drive

remsh remote_name " /etc/frecover -xi/directory \
-f local_name:/dev/rmt/0m"

Use tar xvf to restore on one system and ftp the restored data to transfer to another system.

Hi

Bad choice as slow but this should work
to restore a `tar' tape from a remote computer that owns a compatible drive.

cd /relative_path

remsh name -l user dd if=/dev/rmt/0m bs=10k | tar xvf -

You may do well to use tar tvf to check it but it works for me

please explain the command deeply i do not know what to use

Re: backup

To backup: tar cvf /dev/rmt/0m files_names
To restore: tar xvf /dev/rmt/0m files_names
To Verify: tar tvf /dev/rmt/0m

Refer man tar pages for more details.

Hi

Ok

cd /relative_path

cd to where you want to recover from

Then to test it

remsh name -l user dd if=/dev/rmt/0m bs=10k | tar tvf -

Should show what is on tape

If you see what you expect then

remsh name -l user dd if=/dev/rmt/0m bs=10k | tar xvf -

Will recover files
