Restore a single file from a ignite-ux copy

[Jose Juan]

Is possible to recover a single file from a copy of Ignite-UX?
If so. How can I do?

thanks in advance.

An ignite on tape consists of a boot header and a tar archive. You need to forward the tape until the tar starts.
Do you have HP9000 or Integrity system?

Hi..

From Ignite Tape:
(1) mt -f /dev/rmt/0mn rew
(2) mt -f /dev/rmt/0mn fsf 1
(3) tar xvf /dev/rmt/0mn etc/lvmtab

From Ignite Image:
To restore a specific file or directory from an ignite image on a ignite server
cd /var/opt/ignite/recovery/archives/
Check for the available images and select the one from which you want to restore.
#gunzip -c |tar -xvf -
eg: To restore /opt/ssh/etc from a image file "2008-01-17,13:53",
#gunzip -c 2008-01-17,13:53|tar -xvf - opt/ssh/etc

This will restore the opt/ssh/etc dir relative to the current path, which can be copied to the actual destination.

From ignite tape (made on Integrity):
