frecover index details

[Randall Kreider]

I'm looking to get the full details of files from a backup tape without performing a restore.

using...

frecover -I [-f device]

...I can get an index. What I'm in need of is getting the attributes similar to the results from a directory listing such as...

ls -las

...even more specifically, I'm most interested in the user and group information.

thanks in advance

Hi,

you can do an PSEUDO restore, that will list all files which are on the tape:

# frecover -xvN -f

Armin,

Thanks for the help...

Any thoughts on redirecting that output so that I can look at it at a later time.

to get a tapelist with permissions etc use:

frecover -xvN -f /dev/rmt0 > tapelist

having difficulty with redirection...

frecover -x -vN -i /path > file

...doesn't appear to work...output still displays on screen and file is empty.

Use

frecover -x -vN -i /path >file 2>&1

then (this redirects STDERR also into the same file).
