Hi:

It;s '/dev/console'.

The -I option is used to list the table of contents, or Index out to a file.
E.g. frecover -I /tmp/myfile
If you want to list it onto the screen, do something like:
frecover -I - -f /dev/rmt/0m

Could I just boor into single-user mode and then run 'frecover -r' ro restore from last night's backup?

i'm afraid that other files might have been hit with the gzip command.

Who can but you're going to have to mount the file systems from the command line when in single user, since only /stand and / will be mount. Also verify the source of 'frecover' and make sure this is mounted or you won't have execution of frecover.

Who can but you're going to have to mount the file systems from the command line when in single user. Only /stand and / will be mounted. I would mount the other O/S file systems especially /usr since that's where frecover will reside. But you're also going to have to examine your restore targets. And if you want to restore out of vg00 then you'll have to activate those vgs first. Use vgchange. Then mount the restore target file system.
