Selective restore from make_recovery tape

[Joe Profaizer]

I need to restore the directory (+ files and subdirectories):
/opt/appserver/psfthrms/hrms751/appserv/prcs

from a make_recovery tape. I need instruction on how to do so.

Please assist,

Thanks,
..Joe

Hi Joe:

'tar' or 'pax' can be used to extract files from a make_recovery tape. This is not fast, but here is the syntax:

# mt -t /dev/rmt/0mn fsf 1
# tar -xvf /dev/rmt/0m

Note carefully the norewind device used with the 'mt' command.
