Re: Size file on the Tape.

I've replied to your other thread.

I don't believe you can do this given what you are saying you used to do the backup.

My suggestion on the other thread was to go to the original data area and do a :

ufsdump -Sv

to get an estimate.

You could try:

pax -vf /dev/rmt/xxxx

as well.

Shalom gigiz,

This totally depends on the backup method.

tar tvf /dev/rmt/0m

Will list the file sizes of a tape created with tar.
